High speed photometric observations of the optical counterpart of 2A 0526-328 show the star to be a rapid variable, with a total range of about 0.4 mag and brightness changes of 0.15 mag on time scales as short as 1 min. These rapid brightness variations and the blue color confirm that this star is in the class of cataclysmic variable stars. Considering that no eclipses or periodic humps were detected, that there is no evidence of coherent periodicities, and that an ultrashort-period orbit is excluded, the most probable classification is that of a UX UMa star.
