In the title molecule, [Ru(C9H7)(C7H5O)(CO)2], the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the indene ring system and the phenyl ring is 86.28 (8)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) interactions. The Ru—η5-cyclopentadienyl centroid bond length is 1.946 (11) Å
