The study of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a key field to expand ourunderstanding of several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena. SVOM is aChinese-French Mission which will permit to detect and rapidly locate GRBs, inparticular those at high redshift, and to study their multiwavelength emission.The SVOM satellite, to be launched in 2013, will carry wide field instrumentsoperating in the X/gamma-ray band and narrow field optical and soft X-raytelescopes. Here we describe a small soft X-ray telescope (XIAO) proposed as anItalian contribution to the SVOM mission. Thanks to a grazing incidence X-raytelescope with effective area of ~120 cm^2 and a short focal length, coupled toa very compact, low noise, fast read out CCD camera, XIAO can substantiallycontribute to the overall SVOM capabilities for both GRB and non-GRB science.
