The title compound, C10H13N3S, was prepared by the reaction of 4-ethylthiosemicarbazide and benzaldehyde. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the thiourea unit is 8.96 (7)° and an intramolecular N-H...N hydrogen bond generates an S(5) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H...S hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) loops.
