High-spin excited states in the neutron-rich nucleus 140Cs were re-investigated from the spontaneous fission of 252Cf with the Gammasphere detector array. Seven new transitions at low and moderate spin and 13 at high spin were observed in 140Cs and the level scheme of 140Cs was extended to 3794 keV with a new sideband. Spins and parities were assigned to levels based on angular correlation measurements and the systematics in the N=85 isotones.
