In the title compound, C(16)H(16)ClNO(2), the mol-ecule adopts a bowed conformation, with a dihedral angle of 39.9 (2)° between the aromatic rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating C(6) chains propagating in [010]. Very weak aromatic π-π stacking is also observed [centroid-centroid distance = 4.040 (2) Å].
