Lagocephalus lagocephalus is one of genus Lagocephalus and widely distributed in tropical and temperate oceans. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of L. lagocephalus. The genome is 166,443 bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding D-loop, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (27.95%), T (25.07%), G (16.14%), and C (30.83%) with an AT bias of 53.03%. The longest PCG of these species was ND5, whereas the shortest ATP8.
