The complete mitochondrial genome of the king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus was firstly determined.The mitogenome is 17,477 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 Samsung RL4362FBASL 60/40 Fridge Freezer with Water Dispenser ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a control region.The total nucleotide composition is 31.

0% A, 22.2% T, 33.1% C, ORG GREENS CHOCOLATE and 13.

8% G, with a total A + T content of 53.2%.The phylogenetic analysis demonstrates a close relationship between A.

patagonicus and A.forsteri.These results provide fundamental information for further phylogeny and genetic studies on Aptenodytes genus.
