In the title compound, [Zn(NO3)2(C12H12N2)(H2O)], the ZnII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one water O atom, one O atom from a monodentate nitrate anion and two O atoms from a chelating nitrate anion. In the crystal, there are aromatic π–π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.9577 (13) Å] and intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
