Abstract: We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of sand dollar Astriclypeus mannii (Verrill 1867) (Echinoidea: Astriclypeidae) occurring in the subtidal sand flat in Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea. The mitochondrial genome was 15,744 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and 140 nucleotides representing the putative control region. We reconstructed the concatenated phylogenetic tree based on 13 PCGs of 18 echinoderms, including A. mannii . From the maximum likelihood clustering, A. mannii was grouped in the order Echinolampadacea. The complete mitochondrial sequence of A. mannii for the first time in this study provide valuable insight in understanding the evolution and phylogenetic analysis of echinoids (sea urchins).<br />Competing Interests: No potential competing interest was reported by the author(s).<br /> (© 2022 The Author(s).
