We report on Swift observations of the newly discovered galactic transient Swift J1539.2-6227 (Krimm et al, ATel #1855). Observations were made with the Swift satellite between 2008-12-25 03:15 UT and 2008-12-26 22:25 UT for a total exposure of 7263 seconds. The spectrum derived for the Swift/X-Ray Telescope (XRT) data, correcting for pile up, is well fit by a power-law model with a photon index of 2.15 ± 0.1, and a N_H of (4.49 ± 0.05) x 10^21 cm^-2.
