Based on universal arguments it is believed that there is a critical point(E) in QCD on the temperature (T) versus chemical potential (\mu) plane, whichis of extreme importance for heavy-ion experiments. Using finite size scalingand a recently proposed lattice method to study QCD at finite \mu we determinethe location of E in QCD with n_f=2+1 dynamical staggered quarks withsemi-realistic masses on $L_t=4$ lattices. Our result is T_E=160 \pm 3.5 MeVand \mu_E= 725 \pm 35 MeV. For the critical temperature at \mu=0 we obtainedT_c=172 \pm 3 MeV.Comment: misprints corrected, version to appear in JHE
