In Google Search Console, you can add the URL manually under the 'Indexing' -> 'Removals' section. Here you can choose to have the URL temporarily removed or permanently removed.

A follow-up. If you don't have a SearchConsole setup, you can add a meta tag to the page header to prevent Google or ALL bots from indexing.

This tag will prevent all bots from indexing:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

This tag will prevent just GoogleBot from indexing:
<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">

And here's a full guide on how to do it:

You can use the 'URL Inspection Tool' in Google Search Console to request indexing of a specific URL. This is the best way to see how Google sees the specific URL. I'm not sure what happens if you explicitly remove a URL and then inspect it however.

you can do it via robots.txt with Disallow: command.
