The supernova remnant G0.9+0.1 has long been inferred to contain a central energetic pulsar. In observations with the NRAO Green Bank Telescope at 2 GHz, we have detected radio pulsations from PSR J1747–2809. The pulsar has a rotation period of 52 ms, and a spin-down luminosity of $\dot{E} = 4.3\times 10^{37}$ erg s–1, the second largest among known Galactic pulsars. With a dispersion measure of DM = 1133 pc cm–3, PSR J1747–2809 is distant, at ≈13 kpc according to the NE2001 electron density model, although it could be located as close as the Galactic center. The pulse profile is greatly scatter-broadened at a frequency of 2 GHz, so that it is effectively undetectable at 1.4 GHz, and is very faint, with period-averaged flux density of 40 μJy at 2 GHz.
