The title nitro-phenyl benzamide, C13H9BrN2O3, with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, has dihedral angles of 16.78 (15) and 18.87 (14)° between the benzene rings. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed in each mol-ecule. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions; halogen-halogen inter-actions are also observed [Br⋯Br = 3.4976 (7) Å]. These inter-actions form R (2) 2(10), R (2) 2(15) and R (6) 6(32) edge-fused rings along [010].
