The 3-chlorobenzoate anion of the title salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4ClO2-, is nearly planar with a dihedral angle of 2.44 (13)° between the benzene ring and the carboxylate group. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N-H...O hydrogen bonds with an R22(8) ring motif, forming an approximately planar ion pair with a dihedral angle of 7.92 (5)° between the pyridinium and benzene rings. The ion pairs are further connected via N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.
