  The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been observed by both the Midcourse
Space Experiment (MSX) in the mid-infrared and the Two Micron All Sky Survey
(2MASS) in the near-infrared. We have performed a cross-correlation of the 1806
MSX catalog sources and nearly 1.4 million 2MASS catalogued point and extended
sources and find 1664 matches. Using the available color information, we
identify a number of stellar populations and nebulae, including main sequence
stars, giant stars, red supergiants, carbon- and oxygen-rich asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) stars, planetary nebulae, H II regions, and other dusty objects
likely associated with early-type stars. 731 of these sources have no previous
identification. We compile a listing of all objects, which includes photometry
and astrometry. The 8.3 micron MSX sensitivity is the limiting factor for
object detection: only the brighter red objects, specifically the red
supergiants, AGB stars, planetary nebulae and HII regions, are detected in the
LMC. The remaining objects are likely in the Galactic foreground. The spatial
distribution of the infrared LMC sources may contribute to understanding
stellar formation and evolution and the overall galactic evolution. We
demonstrate that a combined mid- and near-infrared photometric baseline
provides a powerful means of identifying new objects in the LMC for future
ground-based and space-based follow-up observations.
