In the title compound, C10H9ClN4S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenyl and 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione rings is 25.3 (9)°. The latter ring is essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.010 and −0.010 Å for the ring N atom in the 4-position and ring C atom bearing the methyl group, respectively. An intramolecular C—H⋯S contact occurs. In the crystal, pairs of weak N—H⋯S interactions link the molecules into inversion dimers in the ac plane, forming R

2(8) graph-set motifs. In addition, weak π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.3463 (14) and 3.6127 (13)Å] are observed.
