The energy in the baryon-number-2 sector of the Skyrme model is shown to be minimized by a localized static soliton solution. If this solution has a particular discrete symmetry, the lowest-energy state of the soliton can have the spin, isospin, and parity quantum numbers of the deuteron. This identification is supported by approximate calculations of its charge radius and its magnetic and quadrupole moments.
