During the current AGILE pointing centered near the Galactic Center, the AGILE Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) has detected significant gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a gamma-ray source positionally consistent with the blazar PKS 1830-211. Integrating from 2009-10-12 00:03 UT to to 2009-10-13 04:57 UT, a maximum likelihood analysis shows a detection at a significance level above 5 sigma, with a source flux reaching a gamma-ray flux of (160+/-50) e-8 ph/cm2/sec above 100 MeV.
