A new hard X-ray source has been detected by the IBIS/ISGRI camera on the INTEGRAL gamma-ray observatory during an observation of the field around GRS 1915+105 taken on 2009-03-27 from 11:56 UT to 17:43 UT. The source, named IGR J19294+1816, is located at R.A.=292.42 deg and Dec= +18.28 deg (equinox J2000) with an uncertainty on the position of about 3 arcmin (68% confidence). It is well detected (8.3 sigma) in the overall IBIS/ ISGRI mosaic image in the 20-40 keV band with a flux of about 14 +/- 2 mCrab.
