In the title compound, [Cu(C(6)H(3)BrNO(2))(2)(H(2)O)], the Cu atom adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination arising from two N,O-bidentate ligands and a water mol-ecule, with one N atom in an axial site and the other in an equatorial site. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring planes is 67.6 (2)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in chains propagating in [100].
