HD75445 was recently announced by Kochukhov et al. (2009) to be a low-amplitude roAp star, based on spectroscopic measurements. We present putative pulsation frequencies of HD75445 determined from 22 hours of Johnson B photometry obtained in 2008, 2009 and 2010. We present the first photometric periodicities detected in this star. We make a marginal detection of one of Kochukhov et al. (2009)'s spectroscopic periods, along with a range of confidently detected periodicities covering the low-frequency end of the roAp instability spectrum and the high-frequency end of the Delta Scuti instability spectrum.
