  We report the ASCA discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, AX J0049-732, in the
Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The pulse shape is sinusoidal with a barycentric
period of 9.1320 +/- 0.0004 s. The X-ray spectrum was fitted by an absorbed
power-law model with a photon index of ~0.6 and a column density of ~1.3e22
cm^-2. An unabsorbed flux in the 0.7-10.0 keV was estimated to be ~8e-13 erg
cm^-2 s^-1 corresponding to the X-ray luminosity of ~4e35 erg s^-1 at the SMC
distance of 62 kpc.
