We present epoch 1996, high-quality radial velocity data for HDE 226868, the optical counterpart of Cygnus X-1. Combining our results with all published historical data, we have derived a new ephemeris for the system of HJD2450235.29 + n x 5.5998, which allows accurate orbital phase calculations to be made for any X-ray observations over the last 30 years. We find no evidence for any period change as has been suggested by Ninkov, Walker & Yang (1987). We discuss the shortcomings of previous work in establishing the period and orbital elements.
