We present time-series photometry in the field of Stock 8 and identified 130 short-period variable stars. Twenty-eight main-sequence and 23 pre-main-sequence variables are found to be part of cluster Stock 8. The main-sequence variables are classified as slow pulsators of the B-type, {beta} Cep, and {delta} Scuti stars. Fourteen main-sequence stars could be new class variables as discussed by Mowlavi et al. (2013, J/A+A/554/A108) and Lata et al. (2011MNRAS.418.1346L; 2012MNRAS.427.1449L; 2014, J/MNRAS/442/273; 2016MNRAS.456.2505L). The age and mass of pre-main-sequence variables are found to be ~<5 Myr and in the mass range of 0.5-2.8 M_{sun}_, respectively. These pre-main-sequence stars could be T-Tauri variables. We have found 5 and 2 of 23 pre-main-sequence variables as classical T-Tauri stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars, respectively, whereas 16 pre-main-sequence stars are classified as weak-line T-Tauri stars.
