In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C15H14N2)]I·H2O, the benzene and imidazolium rings are twisted by 17.26 (17) and 32.53 (19)°, respectively, with respect to the η5-C5H4 plane of the ferrocenyl unit. The imidazolium ring is rotated by 48.81 (17)° with respect to the benzene ring. The packing is dominated by layers established by O—H...I, C—H...I and C—H...O contacts and propagating along the bc plane.
