We have searched for potential near-infrared counterparts to the new Galactic Center X-ray transient, Swift J174535.5-285921 (ATEL #3472) using our catalog of JHK_s sources within the 17'x17' field centered on Sgr A* (DeWitt et al. 2010, ApJ 721, 1663), obtained with ISPI on CTIO on 2005 August 10. Within the Swift error circle are two faint X-ray point sources that were previously detected by Chandra, CXOGC174535.5-285920 and CXOGC174535.4-285925.
