International audience. Here, we present the complete genome sequences of two Zika virus (ZIKV) strains, EcEs062\_16 and EcEs089\_16, isolated from the sera of febrile patients in Esmeraldas City, in the northern coastal province of Esmeraldas, Ecuador, in April 2016. These are the first complete ZIKV genomes to be reported from Ecuador.
