<p><i>Dianella ensifolia</i> (L.) Redouté 1802 is a plant known for its significant medicinal values. In this study, we presented its chloroplast genome. The length of the chloroplast genome was found to be 156,571 bp, with a GC content of 37.86%. It consisted of a large single-copy (LSC) of 85,318 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) of 18,307 bp, a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,473 bp each that separated the LSC and SSC regions. The chloroplast genome of <i>D. ensifolia</i> consisted of 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Through phylogenetic analysis, we identified a close relationship between <i>D. ensifolia</i> and <i>D. nigra</i>. This newly sequenced chloroplast genome not only enhances our understanding of the genome of <i>Dianella</i>, but also provides valuable insights for the evolutionary study of the family Asphodelaceae.</p>
