9-(4-Ethynylphen­yl)-9H-carbazole

In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₃N, the carbazole moiety is essentially planar, with the two benzene rings twisted by 5.44 (8)°. The dihedral angle between the central five-membered ring and the ethynylphenyl ring is 47.10 (5)°. The mol­ecular packing in the crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals forces.
