In the title compound, C15H10FIO2S, the O atom and the 4-fluorophenyl group of the 4-fluorophenylsulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment; the 4-fluorophenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane, making a dihedral angle of 83.37 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen bonds and an I
O interaction [I
O = 3.255 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits intermolecular C-F
interactions [3.068 (2) Å], and aromatic
-
interactions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring benzofuran fragments [centroid-centroid distance = 3.636 (2) Å].
