The discovery of low-amplitude light variations with a period of 7.402 min in the cool magnetic Ap star HD 80316 is announced. High-speed photometric observations obtained during 15 hr on three nights in 1989 from the South African Astronomical Observatory are presented. A frequency analysis of those observations shows that the principal oscillation frequency in HD 80316 is nu(1) = 2.2516 + or - 0.0008 mHz which has an amplitude of 0.44 mmag. The amplitude of nu(1) is definitely modulated from night to night; other frequencies which look like rotational sidelobes of nu(1) can be identified in the frequency analysis. A list of the 14 confirmed rapidly oscillating Ap stars is given with references.
