During 23 nights between July 2000 and November 2000, over 2300 CCD observations in the V band were obtained. These data show that the new variable is a detached eclipsing binary system with an orbital period of 2.37229 days. In addition, one of the components undergoes very short-period oscillations with a main pulsation frequency of 24.46 or 25.47 c/d. HIP 7666 is therefore a new member of the rare group of detached eclipsing binary systems with a δ Scuti type component. Juan-Samsó, J. Vidal-Sáinz, J. Lampens, P. García-Melendo, E.
