Observations of the four Stokes parameters of a 430-MHz flare from the UV Ceti-type star AD Leo are presented. The maximum amplitude of the event was 0.52 flux units, and the durations at one-half and one-tenth maximum were 12 and 40 sec, respectively. The degree of circular polarization at maximum intensity was approximately 56% and was later observed to be as high as 92%. Linear polarization was also observed at a level of about 21% at flare maximum which allowed an upper limit of 440 radians/sq m to be placed on the rotation measure.
