A photoelectric light curve of UW Ori is given along with a new epoch formula. A preliminary photometric solution was obtained using the Wilson-Devinney method of light curve synthesis. The results show that it is an early-type, almost contact, semidetached binary of large mass, with a mass ratio 0.513. If the large mass component is a zero age main sequence star, then the small mass component is no longer such. The O-C in the time of minimum suggests an increasing period.
