Neutron diffraction techniques have been used to study the magnetic properties of a TbPtIn single-crystal as a function of temperature and magnetic field. In the absence of an externally applied magnetic field, the compound orders, below approximately 47 K, in an antiferromagnetic structure with propagation vector k=(12,0,12); the magnetic moments were found to be parallel to the [12̄0] direction. Measurements at 4.2 K, with a magnetic field applied along the [12̄0] direction, revealed metamagnetic transitions at approximately 20 kG and 40 kG.
