In the title compound, C(18)H(12)Cl(2)N(2)O, the pyrazole ring is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å] while the two chloro-phenyl rings are twisted out from the plane of the pyrazole ring, making dihedral angles of 5.3 (1) and 65.34 (4)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(24) dimers are formed about crystallographic inversion centres through a pair of C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. These dimers are further linked through a C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a C(8) chain extending along the a axis. C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
