Abstract: In the title compound, [PdBr₂(C₁₉H₁₇P)₂], the Pd^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two Br anions [Pd-Br = 2.4266 (2) Å] and two P-donor ligands [Pd-P = 2.3462 (5) Å] in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [P-Pd-Br = 93.528 (12)°]. Weak intermolecular C-HBr hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains extended in [1 $\\overline{1}$ 0].
