We observed the new soft gamma repeater, SGR 0418+4729 with the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) starting at 2009 July 8 20:52:35 in photon counting mode. The total exposure time was 2.95 ks. We detect a significant source in the XRT field of view with a count rate of 0.23 cnts/s. The coordinates of this source is RA = 04h 18m 33.70s, Dec = +57d 32' 23.7" (J2000) with an error circle radius of 3.6".
