  "abstract": "We present new spectroscopic observations of the early type, double-lined eclipsing binary V446\\,Cep. The radial velocities and the photometric data obtained by $Hipparcos$ were analysed for deriving the astrophysical parameters of the components. Masses and radii were determined as M$_p$=17.94$\\pm$1.16 M$_{\\odot}$ and R$_p$=8.33$\\pm$0.29 R$_{\\odot}$, M$_s$=2.64$\\pm$0.30 M$_{\\odot}$ and R$_s$=2.13$\\pm$0.10 R$_{\\odot}$ for the components of V446\\,Cep. Our analyses show that V446\\,Cep is a detached Algol-type system. Based on the position of the components plotted on the theoretical Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, we estimate that the age of V446\\,Cep is about 10 Myr, neglecting the effects of mass-loss and mass exchange between the components. Using the UBVJHK magnitudes and interstellar absorption we estimated the mean distance to the system V446\\,Cep as 1100$\\pm$62\\,pc.",
