The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Gekko swinhonis was determined in this paper. The genome was 16,818 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region (CR). The gene composition and order of G. swinhonis were similar to most other squamate reptiles. The overall base composition of the genome in descending order was 31.35% A, 27. 71% C, 26.28% T, and 14.67% G, with a slight AT bias of 57.62%. CR is located between the tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes and is 1456 bp in length; some tandem repeat sequences and conserved elements (TAS, CSB1-3) were found in the CR.
