<i>Quercus turbinella</i> (section <i>Quercus</i>; Fagaceae) is an evergreen shrub characteristic in central Arizona and it concerns one of the most abundant and economically important genera of <i>Quercus</i> in the Northern Hemisphere. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome to provide insight into the phylogenetic relationship of <i>Q. turbinella</i>. The whole genome is 161,208 bp in length with two inverted repeat regions of 25,827 bp each, which separate a large single-copy region of 90,552 bp and a small single-copy region of 19,002 bp. A total of 136 genes were annotated, including 88 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNAs, and 40 transfer RNAs. The result of the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis strongly suggested that <i>Quercus turbinella</i> had a close relationship to <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> with strong bootstrap support.
