The exoplanet HD 118203 b, orbiting a bright (V = 8.05) host star, was discovered using the radial velocity method by da Silva et al. (2006), but was not previously known to transit. TESS photometry has revealed that this planet transits its host star. Five planetary transits were observed by TESS, allowing us to measure the radius of the planet to be $1.133 \pm 0.031 R_J$, and to calculate the planet mass to be $2.173 \pm 0.078 M_J$. The host star is slightly evolved with an effective… Expand
