Allium fistulosum L. (Linnaeus, Carolus, 1753) is an aromatic vegetable with health benefits and medicinal value. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. fistulosum was determined. Circular mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was 382,053 bp in size, encoded 44 genes, and contained 26 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 14 tRNAs, and four rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences of the 26 PCGs revealed that the closest relationship was between A. fistulosum and Allium cepa. The high-quality mitochondrial genomic sequences of A. fistulosum presented in this study will serve as a useful resource for a range of genetic, functional, evolutionary, and comparative genomic studies on this species of the Amaryllidaceae family.
