description A marine <i>Alphaproteobacterium</i> designated as strain NZ-96<sup>T</sup> was isolated in February 2021, from a sponge species (<i>Demospongiae</i>) collected in muddy sediments with boulders and old chimneys in Otago/Canterbury Slope, Pacific Ocean, New Zealand. The isolate was found to be Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, motile, and produced yellow-colored colonies. The isolate was positive for alkaline phosphatase, leucine arylamidase, trypsin, catalase, and oxidase and negative for α-galactosidase and urease. It was resistant to many antibiotics including hygromycin, trimethoprim, spectinomycin, ampicillin, oxytetracycline, cephalosporin, bacitracin, and polymyxin. The 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analyses exhibited that strain NZ-96<sup>T</sup> belonged to the genus <i>Qipengyuania</i> and showed 98.3–98.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to its closest relatives. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown polar lipid, and three unknown glycolipids. The major fatty acids were C<sub>18:1</sub>ω12t, C<sub>16:0</sub>, C<sub>16:1</sub>ω7c, C<sub>17:1</sub>ω6c, C<sub>16:0</sub>2-OH, and C<sub>14:0</sub> 2-OH. Carotenoid were produced. The crude extract showed pronounced activity against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Newman and <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> DSM 10. Pairwise ANI and dDDH values of strain NZ-96<sup>T</sup> and closely related phylogenetic hits were below the threshold values of 95% and 70%, respectively. Genes for trehalose biosynthesis, aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, flagellar biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, and antibiotics resistance were present, which aids in isolate survival in a sea or ocean environment. The DNA G+C content was 60.8% (by genome). Based on data obtained by the polyphasic approach, strain NZ-96<sup>T</sup> (= DSM 112811<sup>T</sup> = NCCB 100842<sup>T</sup>) represents a novel species of the genus <i>Qipengyuania</i>, for which the name <i>Qipengyuania pacifica</i> sp. nov. is proposed.
