%X <i>Littledalea tibetica</i> is an alpine perennial species in the grass tribe Bromeae(Poaceae) that is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and adjacent regions. In the present study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast(cp) genome of <i>L.racemosa</i> on the Illumina MiSeq platform, which was obtained based on the reference cp genome of its related species, <i>Lolium perenne</i>. This study the first complete cp sequence for the Bromeae. The total genome size was 136 852 bp in length with 38.5% GC content. It contains a pair of inverted repeat regions(21 503 bp) separated by a large single copy region(80 970 bp) and a small single copy region(12 876 bp). Within the newly sequenced cp genome, we annotated a total of 141 genes, which included 95 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs genes, and 8 rRNAs genes. The most of genes occur within the single copy regions. We used the cp genome of <i>L.tibetica</i> and 30 other chloroplast genomes to perform a phylogenetic analysis, indicating that <i>L.tibetica</i> is closely related species in tribe Triticeae of subfamily Pooideae.
