We found evidence for radial p-modes and nonradial mixed modes in the oscillation spectrum of the K giant HD 20884 based on 20.6 days of nearly continuous high-precision photometry obtained by the Canadian microsatellite MOST. Oscillation frequencies range from 5-31 \muHz (periods of about 2.3 d - 9 hr) with luminosity amplitudes between about 300 and 950 ppm and mode lifetimes exceeding 10 days are indicated. The mode identifications are based on searches of a large grid of models for a best fit to the frequencies and temperature of HD 20884. The latter is better constrained now by spectroscopy obtained at the David Dunlap Observatory as part of this work.
