We present a genome assembly from a specimen of <i>Branchiostoma lanceolatum</i> (Amphioxus; Chordata; Leptocardii; Amphioxiformes; Branchiostomatidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 468.40 megabases and 465.81 megabases, respectively. Most of haplotype 1 (99.34%) is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 is a scaffold level assembly. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.14 kilobases in length.
