The complete mitochondrial genome of Cancer pagurus was obtained using next-generation sequencing. The circular genome was 42,736 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 26 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The control region was not found in mitochondrial genome. Of the 41 genes, 21 were encoded by the heavy strand, while the others were encoded by the light strand. The genome composition with A + T bias (74.10%). The phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. pagurus was closest to Austinograea alayseae. The newly described mitochondrial genome may provide valuable data for phylogenetic analysis for Cancridae.
