The survey of two fields located in the eastern region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) lead us to detect 13 new Wolf-Rayet stars (photographic magnitudes 11.9 to 16.1). The plates were taken with the 40-cm Objective Prism Astrograph using an interference filter (Breysacher and Azzopardi, 1978). The 1975 coordinates, spectral classifications and finding charts are provided. The absolute magnitudes of the WR stars, calculated with an LMC absorption-free distance modulus of 18.5, are discussed in connection with the calibration by Smith (1973).
