The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C9H11O2)], was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and crystal structure determination. The average values of the bond distances between the C atoms in the cyclo­penta­dienyl rings are 1.422 (3) Å in the substituted and 1.404 (4) Å in the unsubstituted ring. The Fe—C bond distances range from 2.036 (2) to 2.061 (2) Å and the bond angles in both rings range from 107.1 (2) to 108.9 (2)°. The cyclo­penta­dienyl rings are almost parallel and deviate only slightly from the eclipsed conformation. The mol­ecules are connected into dimers by very weak C—H...O intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
