In the title compound, C(17)H(16)BrNO(2), the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 7.4 (3)°; the hy-droxy group links to the carbonyl group via an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular chain running along the c axis.
