In the title compound, [Zn(C8H5N2O2)2(H2O)], the ZnII ion is coordinated in each case by a carboxyl­ate O atom and an imidazole N atom from two different benzimidazole-2-carboxyl­ate (BIC) ligands and one water O atom in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the complex mol­ecule, the two benzimidazole planes are twisted, making a dihedral angle of 55.93 (11)°. The three-dimensional framework is organized by inter­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding and O—H...O inter­actions and π–π inter­actions between adjacent benzimidazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.586 (3) Å].
