We present evidence for the existence of a bound H-dibaryon, an I = 0, J = 0, s = -2 state with valence quark structure uuddss, at a pion mass of m$$_{\pi}$$ ~389 MeV. Extrapolating the results of lattice QCD calculations performed on four ensembles of anisotropic clover gauge-field configurations, with spatial extents of L ~ 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.9 fm at a spatial lattice spacing of bs ~ 0.123 fm, we find an H-dibaryon bound by B$$H\atop{\infty}$$ = 16.6 ± 2.1 ± 4.6 MeV at a pion mass of m$$_{\pi}$$ ~ 389 MeV.
