The molecule of the title nicotinonitrile derivative, C22H19BrN2O2, is non-planar, the central pyridine ring making dihedral angles of 7.34 (14) and 43.56 (15)° with the 4-bromophenyl and 4-ethoxyphenyl rings, respectively. The ethoxy group of the 4-ethoxyphenyl is slightly twisted from the attached benzene ring [C—O—C—C = 174.2 (3)°], whereas the ethoxy group attached to the pyridine ring is in a (+)syn-clinal conformation [C—O—C—C = 83.0 (3)°]. A weak intramolecular C—H⋯N interaction generates an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions into screw chains along the b axis. These chains stacked along the a axis. π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.8724 (16) and 3.8727 (16) Å are also observed.
