In the title compound, C16H12ClFN2, the dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the flourophenyl ring is 86.70 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the a axis by N-H...N hydrogen bonds. In addition, C-H...[pi] interactions involving the two benzene rings are observed.
