In the crystal structure of the title compound, C12H10ClNO2S, the N-H bond is trans to one of the S=O bonds. The two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 65.4 (1)°, compared with a value of 49.1 (1)° in N-(2-chlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide. The molecules are connected by intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the b axis.
