In the title compound, C 19 H 15 NO, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the carbazole moiety is 1.73 (12)° and the meth-oxy-substituted phenyl ring deviates from the mean plane of the carbazole grouping (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å) by 56.78 (8)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules. The two-dimensional fingerprint plots derived from the Hirshfeld surface indicate that H⋯H (51.2%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (39.9%) contacts dominate the packing.
