Using the Submillimeter Array we report the discovery of a compact low massbipolar molecular outflow from L1014-IRS and confirm its association with theL1014 dense core at 200 pc. Consequently, L1014-IRS is the lowest luminosity (L\~0.09 Lsun) and perhaps the lowest mass source known to be driving a bipolarmolecular outflow, which is one of the smallest known in size (~500 AU), mass(< 10^{-4} Msun), and energetics (e.g., force < 10^{-7} Msun km/s/yr).Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, to appear in ApJ Letter
