The first epitaxial ferroelectric wurtzite film with clear polarization-electric field hysteresis behavior is presented. The coercive field of this epitaxial Al0.7Sc0.3N film on W/c-sapphire substrate is 0.4 +- 0.3 MV cm-1 (8 %) smaller than that of a conventional fiber textured film on a Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrate, attributed to the 0.01 +- 0.007 {\AA} smaller c-axis lattice parameter in the epitaxial film. The strain and decrease of the coercive field most likely originate from epitaxial strain rather than the mismatch in thermal coefficient of expansion. These results provide an insight for further coercive field reduction of novel wurtzite ferroelectrics using epitaxial mismatch strain.
