We report the identification of SH $\Delta v=1$ ro-vibrational lines in the published high-resolution infrared spectrum of the S-type star, R And. This is the first astronomical detection of this molecule. The lines show inverse P-Cygni profiles, indicating infall motion of the molecular layer due to stellar pulsation. A simple spherical shell model with a constant infall velocity is adopted to determine the condition of the layer. It is found that a single excitation temperature of 2200 K reproduces the observed line intensities satisfactory. SH is located in a layer from 1.0 to ~1.1 stellar radii, which is moving inward with a velocity of 9 km s-1. These results are consistent with the previous measurements of CO $\Delta v=3$ transitions. The estimated molecular abundance SH/H is 1x10^-7, consistent with a thermal equilibrium calculation.
