  As part of an on-going radio supernova monitoring program, we have discovered
a variable, compact steep spectrum radio source ~65 arcsec (~4 kpc) from the
centre of the starburst galaxy NGC 3310. If the source is at the distance of
NGC 3310, then its 5 GHz luminosity is ~3 x 10^{19} WHz^-1. The source
luminosity, together with its variability characteristics, compact structure
(<17 mas) and its association with a group of HII regions, leads us to propose
that it is a previously uncatalogued type II radio supernova. A search of
archival data also shows an associated X-ray source with a luminosity similar
to known radio supernova.
