A near-threshold proton resonance in ^{11}B at E_{ex}=11.44±0.04 MeV is observed via the reaction ^{10}Be(d,n)^{11}Be→^{10}Be+p in inverse kinematics, measured with a beam of the radioactive isotope ^{10}Be. The resonance energy at E_{res}=211(40) keV is consistent with a proton signal observed by Ayyad et al. in the β-delayed proton decay of ^{11}Be. By comparison to a distorted wave Born approximation calculation, a 0.27(6) spectroscopic factor is extracted and a tentative (ℓ=0) character is assigned for this resonance. The significant cross section in the proton-transfer (d,n) reaction, as well as the observation of its proton-decay signal, point to the threshold-resonance character of this state. The position of this state, its structure, and strong coupling to the s-wave continuum represent an ideal case to study quantum near-threshold many-body dynamics of unstable states. The presence of this state is an important step toward understanding the excessively large beta-delayed proton-decay branch of ^{11}Be.
