By the application of Sawyer and Tower's method it has been observed for the first time that NaU2(PO4)3 single crystals possess ferroelectric properties. Hysteresis loops were recorded and ferroelectric parameters were determined at room temperature. The measurements were performed on very small single-crystal samples with an area of about 1 mm2 and 0.05 mm thick.
