In the title compound, C(14)H(12)FNO(2), the fluoro-benzene and methoxy-benzene rings are inclined at 27.06 (7) and 23.86 (7)°, respectively, to the amide portion of the mol-ecule and at 3.46 (9)° to one another. The meth-oxy substituent lies close to the methoxy-benzene ring plane, with a maximum deviation of 0.152 (3) Å for the methyl C atom. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into rows along a. Weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F inter-actions further stabilize the packing, forming corrugated sheets in the bc plane.
