Results are reported for UBVR-beta photoelectric photometry of T Tauri using a 48-cm reflector. Examination of the light curves in all five colors reveals that a flare was detected on one night. It is shown that the flare was a damped cyclic event with a cycle duration of approximately 20 min, that the U amplitude of the flare was 1.30 magnitudes, and that the brightness variation in all five colors was synchronous to within 30 sec until the U minimum. The total energy released during the flare is estimated to be around 10 to the 35th power or 10 to the 36th power erg/sec, assuming a distance of 170 pc. It is noted that this event was much more powerful than those associated with flares of UV Ceti stars.
