  We find the leading order result for the anapole form factor of the deuteron
using effective field theory. The momentum dependence of the anapole form
factor is different from that of the matrix element of the strange currents in
the deuteron, which may provide a way for disentangling these two competing
effects when analyzing parity violating electron-deuteron scattering
experiments. We give closed form expressions for both the form factor and
integrals often encountered in the NN effective field theory.
