There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H14BrNO3, with very similar geometrical parameters. Each molecule adopts the phenol–imine tautomeric form, with strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The two molecules are non-planar, the dihedral angles between the two aromatic rings being are 24.6 (2) and 30.30 (13)°.
