We report the discovery of the optical counterpart to the X-ray transient XTE J1748-361 using the 6.5m Magellan-Clay telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Several 5-minute images in the V and R bands were obtained using the MagIC camera on May 31 as well as November 9 2003 when the object was reported in outburst (ATEL #204). Seeing conditions were 0.8-1.0 arcsec across a field of view of 2.4'x2.4' at 0.069 arcsec/pixel.
