In the title quinoline derivative, C14H14ClNO3, there is an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) graph-set motif. The mol-ecule is essentially planar with the mean plane of the ethyl acetate group making a dihedral angle of 5.02 (3)° with the ethyl 6-chloro-2-eth-oxy-quinoline mean plane. In the crystal, offset π-π inter-actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.4731 (14) Å link inversion-related mol-ecules into columns along the c-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H contacts make the largest contribution (50.8%) to the Hirshfeld surface.
