We observed the afterglow of GRB 201014A (Ambrosi et al. GCN 28623; D���Elia et al. GCN 28626; Pozanenko et al. GCN 28628) with the 10.4m GTC telescope, at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Spain) equipped with OSIRIS. The observation started on 16 October 2020 at 5:10 UT (30.36 hrs after the GRB onset) and consisted of 3x1200s with the R1000B grism, covering the range between 3700 and 7800 ��.
The spectrum shows signal redwards of 5150 AA, consistent with the Lyman forest, Lyman alpha, SiII, SiIV, OI, and CII at a common redshift of 4.56, which we identify as the redshift of the GRB.
