The structure of the title compound, C9H6I2N2, contains two symmetry-independent mol­ecules. The inter­planar angles between the imidazole and phenyl ring planes are 16.35 (3) and 17.48 (6)°. Mol­ecules are connected via N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form zigzag chains along the b axis. The title compound is the first example of a structurally characterized 4,5-diiodo­imidazole with an organic substituent in the 2-position and without protection on the N—H group of imidazole.
