We determined complete mitochondrial genome of Erpobdella sp. isolated in Korea. The circular mitochondrial genome of Erpobdella sp. is 15,469 bp long, which is longer than other three complete mitochondrial genomes of Erpobdella species. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. Its GC ratio is 30.2\%. Phylogenetic trees show that our mitochondrial genome is clustered in Erpobdellidae clade.
