Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₁₀H₉NO₃)(H₂O)]·H₂O, the Cu atom is tetracoordinated by O and N atoms, and facilitates an intermolecular CuO short contact of 2.809  (3)  Å. The two symmetrically-related coordinated Cu ions form distorted square pyramids of coordination CuO₄N. In the asymmetric unit, a free water molecule is hydrogen bonded to the coordinated water molecule. In the packing, the molecules are interconnected by two types of O-HO hydrogen bonds.
