Elaeagnus henryi Warb. ex Diels belongs to the Elaeagnaceae. Here, we reveal the complete chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus henryi. The complete chloroplast genome is 152,244 bp in length and contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,235 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,279 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,865 bp. There are 126 genes, including 81 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA), and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The total GC content of the chloroplast genome sequence is 37.1%. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. henryi was sister to Elaeagnus pungens (MW145133). The result may be because the species are advanced and developed from the same ancestor.
