In the title compound, C15H11ClF3NO2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 8.3 (2)° and an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, weak C—H...O links connect the molecules into [-110] chains. The F atoms of the CF3 group are disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.626 (11):0.374 (11).
