The authors present a measurement of the branching fraction for the decay B{sup -} {yields} D{sup 0}K*{sup -} using a sample of approximately 86 million B{bar B} pairs collected by the BABAR detector from e{sup +}e{sup -} collisions near the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance. The D{sup 0} is detected through its decays to K{sup -} {pi}{sup +}, K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0} and K{sup -} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}, and the K*{sup -} through its decay to K{sub S}{sup 0} {pi}{sup -}. They measure the branching fraction to be {Beta}(B{sup -} {yields} D{sup 0}K*{sup -}) = (6.3 {+-} 0.7(stat.) {+-} 0.5(syst.)) x 10{sup -4}.
