By calculating Polyakov loop averages on a 60/sup 2/ x 2 lattice, we determine the critical exponent of deconfinement for SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. Universality arguments predict it to be the same as the critical exponent ..beta.. = (1/8) for the spontaneous magnetization in the two-dimensional Ising model. Our results are in good accord with this prediction.
