In the molecule of the title compound, C8H8BrClO, the Cl atom lies slightly out of the aromatic ring plane [displacement = 0.072 (3) Å]. In the crystal structure, a [pi]-[pi] contact between the phenyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.699 (3) Å] may stabilize the structure. There also exists a C-H...[pi] contact between the methylene group and the chlorophenyl ring.
