We have analyzed an archival ROSAT observation of the newly discovered soft Gamma-ray repeater SGR 0501+4516 (GCN #8112, #8113, #8114, #8115). The ROSAT PSPC observed the a field containing SGR 0501+4516 between September 21st and 24th, 1992 for a total exposure time of 4.2 ks. An off-axis point source, 2RXP J050107.7+451637, was clearly detected in the observation which is coincident within errors the XRT position of the SGR.
