In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(9)ClF(3)NO(2), the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 66.49 (3)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O inter-actions result in the formation of one planar five- and one non-planar six-membered ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains.
