Macrhybopsis tetranema and Oncorhynchus gilae are fish species endemic to the Southwestern United States. We present the complete mitochondrial genomes for these species. Each genome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and the control region (D-loop). Mitogenome lengths were 16,916 base pairs (bp) for M. tetranema , and 16,976 bp for O. gilae. The GC content was 41% for M. tetranema and 46% for O. gilae . The relationships of M. tetranema and O. gilae were consistent with previous phylogenetic analyses.
