✦ Synopsis

In the title molecule, [Fe(C~5~H~5~)(C~21~H~19~N~2~)], the five-membered imidazole ring forms dihedral angles of 88.61 (8) and 42.15 (6)° with the substituted cyclopentadienyl and dimethyl-substituted benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, there is an N__sp__
^2^...H contact and a modest C—H...π(arene) interaction involving the benzene ring of the benzimidizole system.
