Following the gamma-ray flare of the BL Lac object CGRaBS J0211+1051 (also known as MG1 J021114+1051, and 1FGL J0211.2+1049, Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 405) detected by Fermi LAT on 2011 January 23 (ATel #3120), we performed a Swift target of opportunity observation on January 25. Swift/UVOT observations found CGRaBS J0211+1051 about 1.3 mag brighter in U band (U = 13.77+/-0.03) and 1.4 mag in W2 band (W2 = 14.44+/-0.04) compared to the UVOT observation performed on 2010 March 5 (U = 15.02+/-0.03; W2 = 15.82+/-0.06).
