A new γ-ray source with a significance level of approximately 5σ was reported in the region of the supernova remnant (SNR) G272.2-3.2 by analyzing the approximately 12.4 yr of observation data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Its γ-ray spatial distribution did not show an extended feature, and it had a soft spectrum with a spectral index of 2.56 ± 0.01 in the power-law model. No significant variability of its light curve with 10 time bins was identified, and its spatial positions in the X-ray and GeV bands overlapped. We suggest that the new γ-ray source is a likely counterpart of SNR G272.2-3.2. Analyzing its spectrum, we discussed the likely origins of the γ-ray emission.
