We present the first high-resolution radio image of the supernova remnant N49 near the northern edge of the LMC. These observations with the Australia Telescope at 6cm wavelength (4 arcsec resolution) show a distinct radio shell. The shell structure of N49 is similar in radio and X-ray emission, with the maximum of the emission found in the southeastern part of the SNR.
