We present a genome assembly of Vicia sativa (Narrowleaf Vetch; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fabales; Fabaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 748.92 megabases and 1 751.13 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.95%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 405.76 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 124.62 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11 105 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
