In the title compound, C(12)H(9)BrFNO, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 51.39 (5)°; the C atom of the meth-oxy group is close to being coplanar with its attached ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0172 Å] and is oriented away from the pyridine ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules inter-act by van der Waals forces.
