In the title compound, C(15)H(10)ClNO(2),the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and 6-chloro-indoline-2,3-dione ring systems, linked through a methyl-ene group, is 81.68 (10)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating C(6) chains propagating in [010].
