Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₁₃H₁₂N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂, the Zn^II ion is located on an inversion center. Each Zn center is six-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two benzamide ligands, and two O atoms from two water molecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry with normal values of Zn-N [2.1977 (19) Å] and Zn-O [2.0853 (17) and 2.1081 (18) Å] coordinating bonds. Intermolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds link cations and anions into layers parallel to the bc plane.
