The title compound, C9H9ClN2OS, consists of a chloro­phenyl ring and acetyl moiety bridged over a thio­urea functional group. The dihedral angle between the acetyl group and the planar thio­urea group is 1.9 (5)°, and they are oriented at dihedral angles of 57.9 (5) and 59.77 (16)°, respectively, with respect to the phenyl ring. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, enclosing R 22(8) and R 22(12) ring motifs, into infinite chains along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the most important contributions for crystal packing are H⋯H (31.1%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (16.9%), H⋯S/S⋯H (14.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (12.9%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (9.4%) inter­actions. Computational methods revealed N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding energies of −13.8 and −10.1 kJ mol−1, respectively. Evaluations of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the crystal stabilization is dominated by dispersion energy contributions.
