In the title compound, C17H16ClNO3, the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl group is planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.0138 (16) Å] and is nearly perpendicular to the chlorobenzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 84.67 (4)°. The chlorobenzene and amide groups are located on the opposite sides of the C=C bond, showing an E configuration. The relatively long C=O bond distance of 1.2364 (19) Å and the short C-N bond distance of 1.341 (2) Å suggest electron delocalization in the amide fragment. Intermolecular O-H...O, N-H...O and weak C-H...O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
