  The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) survey is an on-going
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multi-cycle program to obtain high spatial
resolution imaging of one-third of the M31 disk at ultraviolet through
near-infrared wavelengths. In this paper, we present the first installment of
the PHAT stellar cluster catalog. When completed, the PHAT cluster catalog will
be among the largest and most comprehensive surveys of resolved star clusters
in any galaxy. The exquisite spatial resolution achieved with HST has allowed
us to identify hundreds of new clusters that were previously inaccessible with
existing ground-based surveys. We identify 601 clusters in the Year 1 sample,
representing more than a factor of four increase over previous catalogs within
the current survey area (390 arcmin^2). This work presents results derived from
the first \sim25% of the survey data; we estimate that the final sample will
include \sim2500 clusters. For the Year 1 objects, we present a catalog with
positions, radii, and six-band integrated photometry. Along with a general
characterization of the cluster luminosities and colors, we discuss the cluster
luminosity function, the cluster size distributions, and highlight a number of
individually interesting clusters found in the Year 1 search.
