We report on the likely optical counterpart to the X-ray transient XTE J1818-245 (ATEL #578,#579). Photometry was acquired with the Swope 1.0m telescope (Las Campanas Observatory, Chile) during August 17 2005 23:19 UT - August 18 2005 00:18 UT. Our observations consist of several 60/180s exposures in the R and V bands acquired with an image quality of 1.3 arcsec. Comparison of our images with the Digitized Sky Survey and 2MASS reveals the presence of a single new point-like object within the error circle for the RXTE PCA X-ray position reported in ATEL #579.
