Duchesnea chrysantha (Zoll. & Moritzi) Miq. is a traditional medicinal species of genus Duchesnea nested in Potentilla genus but having a significant key to be independent genus. In this study, we presented complete chloroplast genome of D. chrysantha which is 156,387 bp long and has four subregions: 85,606 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,778 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 26,002 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 129 genes (84 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.0\% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.9\%, 30.5\%, and 42.8\%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees show that two D. chrysantha are clustered and distance between D. chrysantha and D. indica is enough to be separated species.
