A VLA map of 15 x 15 arcsec resolution has led to the identification of 20-cm radio emission from the faint optical jet-like feature in the Crab Nebula discovered by van den Bergh (1970). The radio emission is extremely faint, being less than 1 percent of the peak brightness within the nebula, and its positional coincidence and structural similarity to the optical jet are noteworthy. The 20-cm emission appears to be nonthermal, with strong linear polarization of about 30 percent.
