We present the detection of a very broad (FWHM = 670 ± 17 km s^–1), low-intensity Hα emission line component near the center of DDO 53, a star-forming dwarf irregular galaxy located in the M81 group. The broad component is found at the base of a bright and narrow (FWHM = 38 ± 2 km s^–1) component. Using WIYN/Sparsepak optical spectroscopy of the region in addition to multiwavelength archival data, we evaluate the plausibility of several candidate sources, and find that stellar winds from embedded young stars are the most likely origin. However, this result is surprising for such a faint H II region.
