The recently discovered Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0418+5729 (GCN #9499, ATEL #2077) was observed with the Chandra HRC-I on 2009 July 12 for an exposure of 24 ks. The brightest X-ray source in the image was clearly identified as the SGR through detection of the 9 sec pulsations. Two additional, uncatalogued X-ray sources were discovered within 3 arcminutes of the telescope boresight, but well separated from the position of the SGR.
