The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity.-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energyrays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from-KM2A and 230 days of data from-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background afterseparation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass betweenand. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.
