Ipomoea trifida is a herbaceous plant of the family Convolvulaceae that is mainly distributed around the Caribbean Sea. In this study, we reported and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of I. trifida. It was 161,133 bp in length containing a pair of 27,297 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs) separated by one large and one small single copy region (SSC and LSC) of 88,107 bp and 18,432 bp, respectively. The phylogenetic tree shows that I. trifida forms a clade with the species of I. batatas, and sister to other Ipomoea species.
