The radio source at the center of the globular cluster M 28 is observed with the VLA at 327 MHz, confirming previous lower-frequency observations (Mahoney and Erickson, 1985) which indicated that this source has an unusually steep spectrum. It appears to be compact, and it is also highly polarized, giving it a set of properties characteristic of radio pulsars. Evolutionary considerations, along with its nondetection in previous pulsar surveys, strongly suggest that it is a millisecond pulsar.
