We report the detection in late February 2006 of a variable X-ray source near Sgr A*, by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) in a series of short (~1ks per day) observations of the Galactic Center. We have analyzed data from four observations and detect a bright point source, Swift J174535.5-290135.6, 90 arcseconds from Sgr A*, at the following coordinates: RA = 17h 45m 35.5s, Dec = -29d 01m 35.6s (J2000) with an estimated uncertainty of 6 arcseconds radius (90% containment).
