An upper limit has been extracted, at the 90% C.L, for the rare charmless hadronic B meson decay B ± → a0(980)±π0, where a0(980)± →ηπ± and η→γγ or η→ π+π-π0. The analysis was based on a sample of approximately 340.7 fb-1 of data taken at the (4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider at SLAC from May 1999 to August 2006. The sample contains (379.9 ± 4.2) million B$$\bar{B}$$ pairs.
