Known measured radial velocities in the Large Magellanic Cloud are presented in a unified catalog with common reduction for coordinates, solar motion, and velocity zero points. The catalog contains 1323 measured radial velocities of planetary nebulae, star clusters, H II regions, H I components, and stars. The geometrical center of gravity of the overall distribution of measured radial velocities is determined to be at 5 h 20.9 m right ascension, -68 deg 40.9 min declination (1950). A clear north-south asymmetry in the distribution of the measured radial velocities with respect to the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud is found, reflecting the asymmetry of this galaxy. The observational errors and estimated number of objects for each sample are discussed.
