The results of 37 h of high‐speed photometry of KPD 2109+4401 are described. At least five periodicities in the range 182–198 s are consistently present in the observations, with amplitudes in the range 1–6 mmag. Results of simultaneous multicolour high‐speed photometry with the Stiening photometer are also presented; these data could in principle be used for mode identification of the periodicities. The results of a preliminary study suggest that the pulsations may all be ℓ = 1 and 2 modes. Properties of the star are compared with those of the other EC 14026 stars.
