We have applied the image subtraction method to images of the peculiar, bimodal-horizontal branch globular cluster NGC 2808, taken over a total of six nights over a range of five months. As a result, we have found, for the first time, a sizeable population of variable stars in the crowded inner regions of the cluster, thus raising the known RR Lyrae population in the cluster to a total of 18 stars. In addition, an eclipsing binary and two other variables with periods longer than 1 day were also found. Periods, positions and (differential) light curves are provided for all the detected variables. The Oosterhoff classification of NGC 2808, which has recently been associated with a previously unknown dwarf galaxy in Canis Major, is briefly discussed. Key words. Galaxy: globular clusters: individual: NGC 2808 – stars: horizontal-branch – stars: variables: RR Lyr 1. Introduction Adequate interpretation of the color-magnitude diagrams of globular clusters (GCs) in terms of age, metallicity and other evo- lutionary parameters is one of the most important goals of stellar astrophysics, constraining both the formation history of the Galaxy and the age of the Universe. Yet, there are still several open problems in t
