The title compound, C19H19ClO5, is a chloro derivative of a biologically significant chalcone family. The mean plane of the two substituted benzene rings are twisted by 55.33 (8)° with respect to each other. An intramolecular C—HCl hydrogen bond generates an S(5) graph-set motif. In the crystal, a bifurcated O—H(O,O) hydrogen bond leads to an R12(5) graph-set motif and to the formation of zigzag chains propagating along the c-axis direction. A weak π–π interaction involving the methylphenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8185 (10) Å] and C—Hπ interactions also occur.
