In the title furan-carboxamide derivative, C11H8N2O4, the benzene and furan rings are rotated from the mean plane of the central fragment by 2.68 (5) and 7.03 (4)°, respectively. The nitro group forms a dihedral angle of 10.15 (5)° with the adjacent benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming helical chains running along [010].
