We report on electrical resistance measurements of an individual carbon nanotube down to a temperature T = 20 mK. The conductance exhibits a lnT dependence and saturates at low temperature. A magnetic field applied perpendicular to the tube axis increases the conductance and produces aperiodic fluctuations. The data find a global and coherent interpretation in terms of two-dimensional weak localization and universal conductance fluctuations in mesoscopic conductors. The dimensionality of the electronic system is discussed in terms of the peculiar structure of carbon nanotubes.
