In the title compound, [Na(H(2)O)(4)](C(15)H(9)N(2)O(2)), the Na(+) ion is coordinated by six water mol-ecules in an octa-hedral geometry. The NaO(6) octa-hedra are connected by sharing edges, forming a cationic chain along the b-axis direction. O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the chains and the 2-(2-pyrid-yl)quinoline-4-carboxyl-ate anions into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
