In this article, we first presented the complete mitogenome of the spot-tail shark Carcharhinus sorrah, which is a medium-sized shark distributed in the tropical Indo-Pacific and is currently listed as "Near Threatened" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. The complete mitogenome of C. sorrah is 16,707 bp in length and contains typical 37 genes and one control region. The overall base composition is 31.4% A, 25.8% C, 13.2% G and 29.6% T. The control region is 1066 bp in length with the highest A + T content (66.8%) and lowest G content (13.2%).
