We sequenced the complete mitogenome of a specimen of Cymbiola nobilis (Neogastropoda, Volutidae) from Phú Quốc Island in Vietnam. The mitogenome of this predatory sea snail is 16,314-bp long and comprises the typical set of genes encoding 13 proteins, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. It features a complex control region that contains two copies of an inverted repeat sequence separated by an AT-rich region, a characteristic previously observed in a few other gastropods. Phylogenetic analysis based on all protein-coding genes revealed that the Volutidae form a strongly supported clade.
