We report a γ-ray excess toward the radio-quiet narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 1934-063 using data collected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and taking into account the LAT 16-year Source List (FL16Y). During the flare interval, the excess is detected in the 1--500 GeV band at a significance of ∼ 5.2σ (TS = 27.12), with a photon flux of (4.94±2.33)×10-10 ph cm-2 s-1 and a hard photon index of Γ=1.50±0.25. The best-fit γ-ray position is consistent with the radio position of 1H 1934-063, while the nearby source FL16Y J1936.9-0552 is not significantly detected during the same interval. In the absence of contemporaneous multiwavelength data, the broadband interpretation cannot be tightly constrained. A compact nonthermal component can produce the hard GeV emission, but the present data do not allow a unique physical interpretation. The excess therefore provides an interesting case for probing high-energy activity in radio-quiet NLS1 galaxies, although the underlying physical mechanism remains uncertain.
