Abstract: Holzer proves that Legendre's equation ${\displaystyle }$ax^2+by^2+cz^2=0, ${\displaystyle }$ expressed in its normal form, when having a nontrivial solution in the integers, has a solution $(x,y,z)$ where $|x|leqsqrt|bc|,quad|y|leqsqrt|ac|,quad|z|leqsqrt|ab|.$ This paper proves a similar version of the theorem, for Legendre's equation with coefficients $a,b,c$ in Gaussian integers $mathbbZ[i]$ in which there is a solution $(x,y,z)$ where ${\displaystyle }$ |z|leqsqrt{(1+sqrt{2})|ab|}.${\displaystyle }$
