We present V and I c CCD photometry for 40 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids at 1 to 3 epochs. This represents a significant increase in the number of LMC Cepheids with I ‐band data, and, as we show, is a useful addition to the sample that can be used to calibrate the period‐‐luminosity relations in these important bands.
