Abstract: The carbazole moiety of the title molecule, C₁₈H₁₆ClNO, is planar to within 0.020  (2)  Å. The 3-chloropropenal substituent is coplanar with the carbazole ring system, whereas the N-ethyl substituent is inclined to it by 87.7  (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak - interactions, C-HCl interactions and van der Waals forces.
