The flare star AD Leo was observed by the EUVE Deep Survey instrument from 1993 March 1 through March 3 UT. A flare was detected in the Lexan/boron (65-190 ~\AA) band on March 2 UT. This flare was also observed in the optical U band and with both high and low resolution spectroscopy. We compare this flare with solar observations and discuss the implications for EUV stellar flare statistics.

This work has been supported by NASA grant NAGW-1290 and NASA contracts NAS5-29298 and -30180.
