A summary of the first results of a search for Cepheids in IC 1613 is reported along with a short discussion of the adopted technique, a comparison of the characteristics of Cepheid light curves in the Galaxy, Magellanic Clouds and IC 1613, and a possible application for a P–L relation derivation. First overtone Cepheids have been identified for the first time in a galaxy farther than the Magellanic Clouds.
