We present the discovery of an optical accretion disk wind in the X-ray transient Swift J1858.6-0814. Our 90-spectrum data set, taken with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias telescope over eight different epochs and across five months, reveals the presence of conspicuous P-Cyg profiles in He I at 5876 Å and Hα. These features are detected throughout the entire campaign, albeit their intensity and main observational properties are observed to vary on timescales as short as 5 minutes. In particular, we observe significant variations in the wind velocity, between a few hundreds and ∼2400 kms^–1. In agreement with previous reports, our observations are characterized by the presence of frequent flares, although the relation between the continuum flux variability and the presence/absence of wind features is not evident. The reported high activity of the system at radio waves indicates that the optical wind of Swift J1858.6-0814 is contemporaneous with the radio jet, as is the case for the handful of X-ray binary transients that have shown so far optical P-Cyg profiles. Finally, we compare our results with those of other sources showing optical accretion disk winds, with emphasis on V404 Cyg and V4641 Sgr, since they also display strong and variable optical wind features as well as similar flaring behavior.
