High-resolution spectra of the optical counterpart of the X-ray pulsar 1E 1145.1-6141 have been obtained. The star is found to be of spectral type B2Iae with a broad H-alpha emission feature and variable C, N, O, and Si lines. Multicolour photometry is also presented, showing no variations on a time-scale of days although the object appears about 1 mag fainter than an observation two months previously. A distance of about 8.2 kpc is obtained for the system and orbital parameters estimated.
