Molecules of the title compound (alternative name p-methoxybenzaldehyde 2-pyridylhydrazone), C13H13N3O, adopt an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. Molecules are almost planar, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and methoxyphenyl rings being only 6.19 (12)degrees. Pairwise N-H...N hydrogen bonds [R-2(2)(8) in graph-set notation] link centrosymmetrically related molecules into discrete pairs.
