The far-infrared optical response of CeCoIn{sub 5}, a superconducting heavy fermion metal with a T{sub C} of 2.3 K, was investigated from 5-40 cm{sup -1} at temperatures from 0.5-2.5 K using a polarizing interferometer and a He{sup 3} cryostat. A strong absorption feature is revealed at low temperatures which appears to be a gap in the density of states, reminiscent of the energy gap seen in the hidden order state in URu{sub 2}Si{sub 2}. The depth of the spectral structure decreases with increasing temperature from 0.5 to 2.5 K indicating that the characteristic temperature for this behavior is close to the superconducting T{sub C}. A peak in the superconducting state Kramers-Kronig-derived optical conductivity occurs just above the gap at 1.5 meV.
