The {ital WW}{gamma} gauge boson couplings were measured using {ital p{bar p}}{r_arrow}l{nu}{gamma}+{ital X} (l={ital e},{mu}) events at {radical}{ital s}=1.8 TeV observed with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The signal, obtained from the data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13.8pb{sup {minus}1}, agrees well with the standard model prediction. A fit to the photon transverse energy spectrum yields limits at the 95% confidence level on the {ital CP}-conserving anomalous coupling parameters of {minus}1.6{lt}{Delta}{kappa}{lt}1.8 ({lambda}=0) and {minus}0.6{lt}{lambda}{lt}0.6 ({Delta}{kappa}=0). Similar limits are obtained for the {ital CP}-violating coupling parameters.
