During a systematic search for periodic signals in a sample of ROSAT PSPClight curves, we discovered ~ 8.9s X-ray pulsations in 2E0050.1-7247, avariable X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The source was detectedseveral times between 1979 and 1993 at luminosity levels ranging from about 5times 10^{34} erg/s up to 1.4 times 10^{36} erg/s with both the Einstein IPCand ROSAT PSPC. The X-ray energy spectrum is consistent with a power lawspectrum which steepens as the source luminosity decreases. We revealed apronounced Halpha activity from at least two B stars in the X-ray errorcircles. These results strongly suggest that the X-ray pulsar 2E0050.1-7247 isin a Be-type massive binary.Comment: 13 pages plus 3 postscript figures, AAS style LaTeX file Accepted for  publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letter
