The title compound, C13H8Br2FN3O3, is nearly planar with a dihedral angle of 10.6 (4)° between the two benzene rings. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. The roles of the inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were clarified using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
