Meconopsis bella Prain 1894 (M. bella) is a rare herb within the family Papaveraceae of which unique and gorgeous purple flowers are blooming in the flowering phase. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of M. bella, which was mainly distributed on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. bella was 153,073 bp in size and was characterized by a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,562 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 178,33 bp and two identical inverted repeats (IR) regions of 25,839 bp. The genome contained 133 genes, including 88 protein-encoding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the maximum-likelihood (ML) method showed that M. bella was closely related to M. paniculate and M. pinnatifolia within the genus Meconopsis.
