The title compound, C8H12Br4, displays crystallographic inversion symmetry, so that the cyclo­butane ring is exactly planar. The ring C—C bond with eclipsed substituents is lengthened somewhat to 1.572 (5) Å. The packing can be described in terms of three Br...Br contacts; two of these combine to form layers of mol­ecules parallel to the ac plane, while the third crosslinks the layers in the third dimension. A simple topological descriptor for systems involving Br...Br contacts is proposed.
