In the title compound, C14H9NO2, the dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the lactone ring is 10.40 (3)°. The coumarin ring system is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.40 (2)° between the lactone and benzene rings. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O interactions occur, generating R22(14) loops.
