%X Abstract Spondylus violaceus is a species of the bivalve family Spondylidae, commonly known as thorny oyster. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of S. violaceus. The mitochondrial genome of S. violaceus is 30,160£¿bp in length, which contains 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 19 transfer RNA genes. The overall AT content (58.31%) was higher than GC content (41.69%). This is the first record of complete mitochondrial genome in the family Spondylidae, providing the basis for future taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of this bivalve family
