We present an analysis of a mid infrared Baldwin effect for 68 AGN with z<0.5 using data collected with the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Spectrograph. Our analysis reveals an anti-correlation between the Equivalent Width of the [SIV] 10.51µm and the mid-IR continuum luminosity. There are also indications of a Baldwin Effect for the [NeII] 12.81µm and [NeIII] 15.56µm, but the realness of the correlation is contaminated by possible star formation activity from the host galaxies. The Baldwin effect for [NeV] 14.32µm is not obvious, implying that a more thorough analysis is still required. The mid-IR Baldwin effect has not been previously analyzed to date and has great implications for both the physics of the ionizing region and the continuum reprocess by dust.
