We report Hubble Space Telescope\/ observations of the bright E0 galaxy NGC 4881 in the Coma Cluster. Eight 900-second exposures were obtained with WFPC2 in the F555W ($V$) passband and eight in the F814W ($I$) passband. Photometry of the globular clusters surrounding NGC 4881 provides an improved estimate of the distance to Coma. Since the redshift of Coma (mean = 6942 km/sec) is large compared with regional departures from a smooth Hubble flow, the distance to Coma has direct implications concerning $H_0$.
