We use natural seeing imaging of SN 2013ej in M74 to identify a progenitorcandidate in archival {\it Hubble Space Telescope} + ACS images. We find asource coincident with the SN in the {\it F814W}-filter, however the positionof the progenitor candidate in contemporaneous {\it F435W} and {\itF555W}-filters is significantly offset. We conclude that the "progenitorcandidate" is in fact two physically unrelated sources; a blue source which islikely unrelated to the SN, and a red source which we suggest exploded as SN2013ej. Deep images with the same instrument onboard {\it HST} taken when thesupernova has faded (in approximately two years time) will allow us toaccurately characterise the unrelated neighbouring source and hence determinethe intrinsic flux of the progenitor in three filters. We suggest that the {\itF814W} flux is dominated by the progenitor of SN 2013ej, and assuming abolometric correction appropriate to an M-type supergiant, we estimate that themass of the progenitor of SN 2013ej was between 8 -- 15.5 M$_{\odot}$.
