Mithridates V (Parthian: 𐭌𐭄𐭓𐭃𐭕 Mihrdāt) was a Parthian contender from 129 to 140. Sources claim he was either a son of Pacorus II[1] or a brother of Osroes I.[2][3] His son, Vologases IV of Parthia (147–191), took the throne after the death of Vologases III in 147.

He died in 140 during a battle in Commagene against the Romans.
