Using a thallium atomic beam apparatus and a stabilized, frequency-doubled diode laser system, we have measured the scalar Stark shift in the 6P{sub 1/2}-7S{sub 1/2} transition of thallium. We determine the Stark shift to be {delta}{nu}{sub S}=-103.23(39) kHz/(kV/cm){sup 2}, providing more than an order of magnitude improvement in precision over earlier measurements of this quantity. This measurement serves as a stringent test of recently published thallium parity nonconservation calculations.
