We present a terrestrial measurement of the Lande g factor of the 5D{sub 5/2} state of singly ionized barium. Measurements were performed on single Doppler-cooled {sup 138}Ba{sup +} ions in a linear Paul trap. A frequency-stabilized fiber laser with a nominal wavelength of 1.762 {mu}m was scanned across the 6S{sub 1/2{r_reversible}}5D{sub 5/2} transition to spectroscopically resolve transitions between Zeeman sublevels of the ground and excited states. From the relative positions of the four narrow transitions observed at several different values for the applied magnetic field, we find a value of 1.2020{+-}0.0005 for g{sub 5D{sub 5{sub /{sub 2}}}}.
