The title Schiff base compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, was prepared from 4-chloro-benzyl-amine and salicyl-aldehyde. The mol-ecule is V-shaped: the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 67.51 (5)°. The rings are located on the opposite side of the C=N bond, giving an E configuration. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates a S(6) ring. In the crystal structure, only weak non-classical C-H⋯O contacts are observed.
