We have succeeded in growing a single crystal of an antiferromagnet UNiSb by the self-flux method. The magnetic susceptibility is found to be highly anisotropic, reflecting the quasi-two dimensional tetragonal crystal structure. The magnetic easy-axis is determined as the [001] direction, consistent with the result of the neutron scattering experiments.
