In the title compound, C(14)H(12)FNO, the ortho-F atom and corresponding H atom on the fluoro-benzene ring are disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.856 (4) and 0.144 (4). The amide unit is planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0057 (16) Å and the amide plane makes dihedral angles of 38.27 (11)° with the fluoro-benzene ring plane and 37.53 (10)° with the tolyl ring. The two benzene rings are inclined at an angle of 4.17 (15)°. In the crystal structure, chains form along b through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds augmented by C-H⋯π inter-actions. Additional inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds further stabilize the structure, forming layers in the ac plane.
