The mitogenome is an important tool for researching the evolution of metazoan animals. However, until now, only few mitochondrial genes of <i>Pseudorhombus pentophthalmus</i> have been reported. Here, we report the complete mitogenome of <i>P. pentophthalmus,</i> assembled using the Illumina platform. The circular mitogenome of <i>P. pentophthalmus</i> is 16,684 bp in length, has a bias A+T content of 52.78%, encodes 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes), and has a control region. The overall nucleotide composition was A: 26.56%, T: 26.22%, G: 17.97%, and C: 29.25%. The phylogenetic tree based on the complete mitogenome <i>P. pentophthalmus</i> was shown to be monophyletic with the other <i>Pseudorhombus</i> species and was shown to be on the same branch as <i>P. dupliciocellatus</i>. This research might be useful for future studies on population genetics and evolution analysis.
