Abstract A search for the lepton flavour violating processes ep->mu X and ep -> tau X, mediated by leptoquarks, is performed with the H1 experiment at HERA. Final states with a muon or tau and a hadronic jet are searched for. This search uses all HERA data collected by the H1 experiment, at a centre-of-mass energy of 320 GeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 0.5 fb^-1. No evidence for lepton flavour violation is found. Limits are derived on the mass and the couplings of leptoquarks inducing lepton flavour violation in an extension of the Buchm"uller-R"uckl-Wyler effective model.
