In the title compound, C24H19N, the di-methyl-amino group is inclined to the benzene ring by 2.81 (9)°. Their mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 64.12 (2)° with the mean plane of the pyrene ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 (1) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯π inter-actions, which connect neighbouring mol-ecules into columns along the c axis.
