  We present the first measurement of the angular correlation function in a
$K$-selected galaxy survey, from two fields covering almost 10 square degrees.
The angular correlation function at small angles is well described by a
$\theta^{-0.8}$ power law, as for optically selected samples. The clustering
amplitude is reduced by a factor of $\sim 4$ between galaxies with $K<15$ and a
fainter magnitude slice with $15<K<16$. This allows us to place constraints
upon the redshift distribution of the galaxies and their spatial correlation
function. We find no clear evidence for a change in clustering amplitude when
galaxies are selected by their observed $B-K$ colours.
