We present the analysis of 3 hrs of a rapid time series of precise stellar radial velocity (RV) measurements (sigma = 4.5 m/s) of the cool Ap star Beta CrB. The integrated RV measurements spanning the wavelength interval 5000-6000 Ang. show significant variations (false alarm probability = 10^-5) with a period of 16.21 min (nu = 1028.17 micro Hz) and an amplitude of 3.54 +/- 0.56 m/s. The RV measured over a much narrower wavelength interval reveals one spectral feature at 6272 Ang. pulsating with the same 16.21 min period and an amplitude of 138 +/- 23 m/s. These observations establish Beta CrB to be a low-amplitude rapidly oscillating Ap star.
