  From optical photometry the cataclysmic variable RX J0944.5+0357 is shown to
have a double-peaked pulse profile with a period of ~2160 s. The two peaks vary
rapidly in relative amplitude. Often most of the optical power is concentrated
in the first harmonic of the 2160s modulation: RX J0944.5+0357 therefore
probably belongs to the relatively rare class of two-pole accreting
intermediate polars exemplified by YY Dra and V405 Aur.
