ASAS-SN monitoring of the LMC provides a high-quality light curve of the newly discovered recurrent nova OGLE-2018-NOVA-01 (ATel #11384, #11390). The nova is located in a crowded region of the LMC, and was undetected before 2018 Feb 25 (V > 16.3 mag). On 2018 Feb 25.16, it was observed to be in outburst, with V = 11.0 mag. The light curve has since declined, and shows possibly-periodic modulation superimposed on this decline.
