In the title compound, [ZnI(2)(C(13)H(19)N(3)O)], the Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the basal plane is defined by three N atoms from the Schiff base ligand and one iodide ion. A second iodide ligand, situated in the apical position, completes the coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link a pair of mol-ecules around an inversion centre into a dimer.
