We present a genome assembly from an individual female Anser erythropus (lesser white-fronted goose; Chordata; Aves; Anseriformes; Anatidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 339.88 megabases and 1 168.02 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (88.67%) is scaffolded into 41 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.74 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
