We report the detection with the IBIS/ISGRI telescope on board INTEGRAL of the hard X-ray emitting symbiotic star RT Cru (also known as IGR J12349-6434). The source was detected during the Galactic Plane scan observations performed between 2012 January 20, 11:26 (UTC) and January 23, 02:34 (UTC). It was inside the field of view of IBIS/ISGRI for a total on-source time of about 21 ks leading to a detection significance of 6.2 sigma in the energy band 18-40 keV and 5.9 sigma in the energy band 18-60 keV.
