In the title compound, C14H11Cl2NO, the central C—C(O)—N—C amide unit makes dihedral angles of 68.71 (11) and 54.92 (12)°, respectively, with the dichlorobenzene and tolyl rings. The two aromatic rings are inclined at 16.25 (17)°. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into zigzag chains propagating in [001]. C—H...Cl contacts link these chains and additional C—H...O contacts generate stacks down b. Weak C—H...π and C—Cl...π interactions [Cl...centroid distance = 3.5422 (15) Å] may also stabilize the structure.
