Following the soft X-ray detection of the X-ray transient IGR J17098-3628 with Swift-XRT, we search for infrared/optical counterpart with the 2MASS All-Sky Catalog and the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. We note that there is a single star within the 5" radius error circle of the Swift-XRT (ATEL #476). The infrared counterpart, 2MASS J17094612-3627573 (J=14.69, H=13.66, and K=13.37), is about 2.7" from the X-ray position.
