The complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of Suaeda glauca, an annual halophytic herb, was determined in this study. The plastome was 149,807 bp in size, containing a large single-copy region (82,162 bp), a small single-copy region (18,191 bp), and two inverted repeats regions (24,727 bp). The overall GC content of this plastome was 36.5%. In total, 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs, were annotated. Phylogenomic analysis showed that S. glauca was sister to other Suaeda species.
