The first complete CCD light curves of the near contact eclipsing binary DF Puppis with an A7 primary have been obtained in the B, V, R and I filters during 5 nights in 2006 with the 1-m telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory Sutherland Station. The light curves are analyzed with the W-D program in order to determine the geometrical and photometric elements of the system. These elements are used to compute the physical parameters of DF Pup and study its evolutionary status.
