For the millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934 (ATEL #1660, #1664, #1665, #1666, #1667), we report on UVOT analysis of the Swift observation taken 2008-08-15 at 14:50 UT (Markwardt & Swank, ATEL #1664). IGR J00291+5934 was detected in the UVW2 filter of UVOT. The UVW2 filter has a central wavelength of 1928 Angstroms. The observed magnitude was 19.6 +/- 0.2 in the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al, 2008, MNRAS 383,627), uncorrected for the expected reddening.
