We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized {sup 3}He target. The neutron magnetic form factor {ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital M}} has been extracted from the measured asymmetry based on recent PWIA calculations using spin-dependent spectral functions. This work represents the first measurement of {ital G}{sup {ital n}}{sub {ital M}} using spin-dependent electron scattering. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
