We have detected emission of molecular hydrogen from a classical T Tauri star, LkHalpha 264 in the v=1-0 S(1) line at 2.122 micron. The line velocity is coincident with the rest velocity of the star. The line profile is well reproduced by a model in which the line emanates from material in a Keplerian rotating circumstellar disk. Fluorescence by X-ray ionization and shock excitation due to accretion or a low-velocity wind are considered for the emission mechanism of molecular hydrogen.
