Neolamarckia macrophylla (Rubiaceae) is a fast-growing tree with high economic value that is endemic to Sulawesi and Moluccas, Indonesia. Here, we presented the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of N. macrophylla. The complete chloroplast genome is 155,406 bp in size and includes a large single-copy region (86,013 bp), a small single-copy region (18,063 bp), and a pair of IR regions (25,665 bp each). A total of 128 genes were predicted, including 8 rRNA, 36 tRNA, and 84 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 11 plant species chloroplast genomes indicated that the genus Neolamarckia was monophyletic which clustered as a sister group to Antirhea chinensis. These complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently used for valuable species research of Rubiaceae.
