We present scanning tunneling microscopy studies of the LaOFeAs parent compound of iron pnictide superconductors. High resolution spectroscopic imaging reveals strong standing wave patterns induced by quasiparticle interference of two-dimensional surface states. Fourier analysis shows that the distribution of scattering wave vectors exhibits pronounced twofold (C-2) symmetry, strongly reminiscent of the nematic electronic state found in CaFe1.94Co0.06As2. The implications of these results to the electronic structure of the pnictide parent states will be discussed.
