Abstract: Let $\Delta _{ \mathbb{H}^{n}}$ be the Kohn Laplacian on the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb{H}^{n}$ and let $\Omega$ be a halfspace of $ \mathbb{H}^{n}$ whose boundary is parallel to the center of $ \mathbb{H}^{n}$. In this paper we prove that if $u$ is a non-negative $\Delta _{ \mathbb{H}^{n}}$-superharmonic function such that

\begin{displaymath}u\in L^{1}(\Omega),\end{displaymath}

then $u\equiv 0$ in $\Omega$.
