The Pd atom in the title compound, [Pd(C13H10ClN2S)Cl], is tetracoordinated by a benzene C, a diazene N, a Cl and an S atom in an approximately square‐planar geometry. The molecules are found to dimerize through a nonbonded S...S interaction [S...S = 3.5162 (17) Å]. There are no hydrogen bonds and the crystal packing is stabilized by four intermolecular π–π interactions; the centroid–centroid distances are 3.808 (2), 3.623 (2), 3.808 (2) and 3.623 (2) Å; the corresponding perpendicular distances are 3.462, 3.454, 3.402 and 3.402 Å with no slippages.
