2-Chlorobenzaldehyde (o-Chlorobenzaldehyde) is an organic compound with the formula ClC₅H₄CHO. It is one of three isomeric monochlorinated benzaldehyde. 2-Chlorobenzaldehyde]] and 3-chlorobenzaldehyde are the other isomers. Whereas benzaldehyde is prone to autoxidation, the 2-chloro derivatives are more air-stable.
