The Te(II) atom in the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(19)ClTe, is coordinated in a V-shaped geometry by C atoms derived from the disparate organic substituents. A short intramolecular C-H⋯Cl contact occurs owing to the proximity of the ethene bond in the six-membered ring to the Cl atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules assemble into layers parallel to the ac plane, with the closest inter-actions between them being of the Te⋯Te type [3.9993 (16) Å].
