We present evidence of magnetic order in the quasi-one-dimensional spin-1/2 molecular chain compound, copper pyrazine dinitrate Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)2. Zero field muon-spin relaxation measurements made at dilution refrigerator temperatures show oscillations in the measured asymmetry characteristic of a quasistatic magnetic field at the muon sites. Our measurements provide convincing evidence for long-range magnetic order below a temperature TN=107(1)\phantom\rule0.3em0exmK. This leads to an estimate of the interchain coupling constant of \ensuremath|J^\ensuremath'\ensuremath|∕kB=0.046\phantom\rule0.3em0exK and to a ratio of \ensuremath|J^\ensuremath'∕J\ensuremath|=4.4\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi10^\ensuremath-3.
