We report the discovery of a new source, IGR J08408-4503, with the ISGRI camera of the IBIS telescope on board the INTEGRAL satellite, during the deep observation of the Vela region on May 15th 2006. The source is detected in a single 1 hour long pointing and inspection of the source light curve on a 100 s time scale reveals a short outburst of 900 s duration starting at 18:25:33 UTC with a peak flux of 250 mCrab in the 20-40 keV energy band.
