Aims. We present the first orbital solution for the O-type supergiant star HD74194, which is the optical counterpart of the supergiant fast X-ray transientIGR J08408-4503. Methods. We measured the radial velocities in the opticalspectrum of HD 74194, and we determined the orbital solution for the firsttime. We also analysed the complex H{\alpha} profile. Results. HD 74194 is abinary system composed of an O-type supergiant and a compact object in ashort-period ($P=9.5436\pm0.0002$ d) and high-eccentricity ($e=0.63\pm0.03$)orbit. The equivalent width of the H{\alpha} line is not modulated entirelywith the orbital period, but seems to vary in a superorbital period($P=285\pm10$ d) nearly 30 times longer than the orbital one.
