Abstract: A new polymorph of 2-bromo-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde, C₇H₅BrO₂, is reported. In this new form a pair of hydrogen bonds link molecules related by an inversion centre. The Br atom deviates significantly from the plane of the benzene ring and the aldehyde group is twisted by 10.0  (5)° around the Csp²-C_aryl bond.
