In the title compound, [Pd(C(17)H(13)N(2)O)(2)], the Pd(II) atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate methylphenyl-diazenylnaphtolate ligands, forming a square-planar complex. The two N atoms and two O atoms around the Pd(II) atom are trans to each other (as the Pd(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion centre) with O-Pd-N bond angles of 89.60 (11) and 90.40 (11)°. The distances between the Pd(II) atom and the coordinated O and N atoms are 1.966 (3) and 2.009 (3) Å, respectively.
