Multi-band photometric observations of the Algol-type binary BO Lep are presented. The visual light curve displays a 1.7-magnitude deep primary eclipse and a shallow 0.2-magnitude secondary eclipse. Photometric light curve solutions were obtained using the Wilson-Devinney program which describe a semidetached configuration with a mass ratio of M_2/M_1 = 0.510, an inclination of i = 86.7°, and a temperature difference of ΔT = 2042 K between the F2 and K3 component stars. The filling factor for the primary star is 72 and 99 for the secondary. A small asymmetry in the light curves was modeled with a cool spot located on the secondary star. New linear and quadratic ephemerides were computed, giving an orbital period of 0.80625824d that is decreasing at a rate of-1.55 × 10 ~7 dyr ~1.
