In the title compound, [Co(C(9)H(8)Br(2)NO)(2)], the Co(II) atom, located on a twofold axis, is in a pseudo-tetra-hedral environment, with two bidentate 2,4-dibromo-6-(ethyl-imino-meth-yl)phenolate Schiff base ligands acting as chelates through their phenolate O and azomethine N atoms. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules to form a chain parallel to the b axis.
