In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C12H10ClN)2], the Zn2+ cation is N-coordinated by two terminally bonded thio­cyante anions and by two 4-(4-chloro­benz­yl)pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetra­hedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the discrete complex, the central Zn2+ cation of which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The discrete complexes are linked into layers via a weak inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­action, with a H...Cl distance of 2.85 Å and a C—H...Cl angle of 151°. These layers extend parallel to the ab plane and are held together by dispersion forces only.
