Abstract A search for scalar and vector leptoquarks (LQs) coupling to first generation fermions is performed in the H1 experiment using data collected from 1994 to 2000. No significant evidence for the direct production of such particles is found in the high Q^2 neutral and charged current deep-inelastic scattering data sample, and constraints on LQs are obtained. For leptoquark couplings of electromagnetic strength LQs with masses up to ~ 290 GeV are ruled out.
