We report on the identification of the optical counterpart of the binarymillisecond pulsar PSR J1911-5958A, located in the outskirts of the globularcluster NGC 6752. At the position of the pulsar we find an object with V=22.08,B-V=0.38, U-B=-0.49. The object is blue with respect to the cluster mainsequence by 0.8 magnitudes in B-V. We argue that the object is the white dwarfcompanion of the pulsar. Comparison with white dwarf cooling models shows thatthis magnitude and colors are consistent with a low-mass white dwarf at thedistance of NGC 6752. If associated with NGC 6752, the white dwarf isrelatively young, <2 Gyr, which sets constraints on the formation of the binaryand its ejection from the core of the globular cluster.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A Letters (September 1st, 2003
