The cross section of neutrino-induced neutral-current coherent $$\pi^0$$ production on a carbon-dominated target is measured in the NOvA near detector. This measurement uses a narrow-band neutrino beam with the average neutrino energy of 2.7\,GeV, xwhich is of interest to the ongoing and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The measured, flux-averaged cross section is $$\sigma = 14.0\pm0.9$$\,(stat.)$$\pm2.1$$\,(syst.)$$\times 10^{-40}$$ $$\text{cm}^2/$$nucleus, consistent with model prediction. This result is the most precise measurement of neutral-current coherent $$\pi^0$$ production in the few-GeV neutrino energy region.
