Abstract
We have obtained 615 new V and R observations of the RR Lyrae star FM Per. A period search identified a primary period of 0.489256 days; however, the light curve of FM Per cannot be well described by a single period. We concl ude that FM Per demonstrates the Blazhko effect with a Blazhko period of ap proximately 122 days.
