Here, we report on the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>M. achne</i> and the phylogenetic relationship between close species. The mitogenome is 16,971 bp long and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs. The phylogenetic analysis showed that <i>M. achne</i> clustered with <i>Glyptocephalus stelleri</i>, which supports the conclusion that <i>M. achne</i> belongs to the family Pleuronectidae. The results of this study provide a better understanding of <i>M. achne</i>.Mitochondrial DNA.
