Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₅O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)], the Zn^II ion is located on a crystallographic twofold axis, which passes through the mid-point of the C-C bond of the bpy ligand. The Zn atom is four-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two symmetry-related hydrogen isophthalate ligands [Zn-O = 1.972  (5)  Å] and two N atoms from 2,2'-bipyridine ligand [Zn-N = 2.067  (5)  Å] to furnish a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
