We report the discovery of a new outburst of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 (IAUC #7418, ATEL#64, #67). Observations carried out with the 0.8m IAC80 telescope at the Observatorio del Teide on UT 2005 Jan 9.26 show J1118+480(=KV UMa) at R=14.02, almost 5 mag brighter than the reported quiescent level (IAUC #7868). On UT Jan 12.12-12.30 J1118+480 brightened to R=13.41 (V-R=0.19) with significant variability of ~0.05 mag amplitude.
