In the mol-ecule of the title di-fluoro-benzamide derivative, C10H7F2NO, the angle formed by the least-squares mean line through the prop-2-ynyl group [maximum deviation = 0.011 (3) Å] and the normal to the benzene ring is 59.03 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the ac plane.
