The Type IIP supernova SN 2020zbv (TNS Astronomical Transient Report No. 88638, TNS Classification Report No. 7974) in NGC 1448 has been observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) on 14th November 2020 between UTC 10:30 and 14:00. No radio emission was detected at the reported location, to a 3-sigma upper limit on flux densities of 0.039 mJy and 0.033 mJy at 5.5 GHz and 9 GHz, respectively. Adopting the host galaxy distance as 17.3 Mpc from NASA Extragalactic Database (NED) this implies an upper limit on the 5.5 GHz and 9 GHz luminosities of 1.4E+25 erg/sec/Hz and 1.2E+25 erg/sec/Hz, respectively. We would like to extend our thanks to the ATCA staff for enabling these observations. The ATCA is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.
