The title compound, C14H10Cl2N2O, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde with an equimolar quantity of 4-chlorobenzohydrazide in methanol. The molecule displays an E configuration about the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c axis.
