This paper presents the Charge-Coupled Device time-series photometric observations of the open cluster NGC 1582 and its surrounding field with Johnson B, V and R filters by using Nanshan 1m telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. 19 variable stars and 3 variable candidates were detected in a 45 {\times} 48.75 field around the cluster. 12 of the variable stars are newly-discovered variable objects. The physical properties, classifications, and membership of the 22 objects are studied through their light curves, their positions on the color-magnitude diagram, and with the archival data from the Naval Observatory Merged Astrometric Dataset. Among these objects, 5 are eclipsing binary systems, 6 are pulsating variable stars including one known Delta Scuti star and one newly-discovered RR Lyrae star. The distance of the RR Lyrae star is estimated to be 7.9 {\pm} 0.3 kpc, indicates that the star locates far behind the cluster. 4 variable stars are probable members of the cluster, and 13 of the 22 objects are confirmed to be field stars.
