We report the detection of two type-I X-ray bursts in RXTE/PCA observation of the neutron star transient SAX J1806.5-2215, which is currently in outburst (ATEL #3193, #3202, #3210, #3218, #3268). The first X-ray burst took place on 2011-04-01 01:59:33.256 UTC, and the second one on 2011-05-06 17:28:51.878 UTC. This is the first time that X-ray bursts are detected from this source with RXTE/PCA, after the only previous detection with BeppoSAX (in't Zand et al.
