A finite sample estimate of the variance of the sample median is proposed. This estimate is shown to have smaller bias than the related estimate of \textit{J. S. Maritz} and \textit{R. G. Jarrett} [A note on estimating the variance of the sample median. J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 73, 194-196 (1978)] and \textit{B. Efron} [Ann. Stat. 7, 1-26 (1979; Zbl 0406.62024)].
