We report on the identification of the optical counterpart of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1911 - 5958A , located in the outskirts of the globular cluster NGC 6752 .
At the position of the pulsar we find an object with V = 22.08 , B - V = 0.38 , U - B = -0.49 .
The object is blue with respect to the cluster main sequence by 0.8 magnitudes in B - V .
We argue that the object is the white dwarf companion of the pulsar .
Comparison with white dwarf cooling models shows that this magnitude and colors are consistent with a low-mass white dwarf at the distance of NGC 6752 .
If associated with NGC 6752 , the white dwarf is relatively young , \la 2 Gyr , which sets constraints on the formation of the binary and its ejection from the core of the globular cluster .
