In the title compound, C14H11FO2, the dihedral angles beteen the central C3O ketone residue and the fluoro- and hy-droxy-substituted benzene rings are 50.44 (9) and 12.63 (10)°, respectively. The planes of the benzene rings subtend a dihedral angle of 58.88 (9)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. No directional inter-actions beyond van der Waals packing contacts were identified in the crystal structure.
