We present Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) data and source catalogs from the Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey. The data were taken in four broad bands centered at nominal wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns. A set of mosaics and catalogs have been produced which are ~80% complete and ~99% reliable to their chosen flux density limits. The main field survey covers 3.8 deg^2, and has flux density limits of 20muJy, 25muJy, 100muJy and 100muJy at wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns,respectively. The deeper ``verification survey covers 0.25 deg^2 with limits of 10muJy, 10muJy, 30muJy and 30muJy, respectively. We also include deep data in the ELAIS-N1 field which covers 0.041deg^2 with limits of 4muJy, 3muJy, 10muJy and 10muJy, respectively, but with only two wavelength coverage at a given sky position. The final bandmerged catalogs contain 103193 objects in the main field, 12224 in the verification field and 5239 in ELAIS-N1. Flux densities of high signal-to-noise objects are accurate to about 10%, and the residual systematic error in the absolute flux density scale is ~2-3%. We have successfully extracted sources at source densities as high as 100000 deg^-2 in our deepest 3.6 and 4.5 micron data. The mosaics and source catalogs will be made available through the Spitzer Science Center archive and the Infrared Science Archive.
