In the title compound, C15H11FO3, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 69.26 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inversion dimers arise from pairs of intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and C—H...O hydrogen bonds further consolidate the packing. There are also C—H...π contacts between the benzoic acid and 2-fluorobenzene rings.
