In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(2), the mean planes through the benzyl and 2-hydoxybenzamide units make a dihedral angle of 68.81 (7)°. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the carbonyl O atom and the 2-hydr-oxy substituent. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link symmetry-related mol-ecules into one-dimensional chains extending along the a-axis direction. These chains are further connected via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet-like structure.
