Suppose that a coassociative 4‐fold N in ℝ 7 is asymptotically conical (AC) to a cone C with rate λ < 1. If λ ∈ [−2, 1) is generic, then we show that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of N that are also AC to C with rate λ is a smooth manifold, and we calculate its dimension. If λ < − 2 and generic, then we show that the moduli space is locally homeomorphic to the kernel of a smooth map between smooth manifolds, and we give a lower bound for its expected dimension. We also derive a test for when N will be planar if λ < − 2 and we discuss examples of AC coassociative 4‐folds.
