Bohemond V (1199 − 17 January 1252) was the prince of Antioch and count of Tripoli from 1233 to his death.
Bohemond V was the son of Bohemond IV of Antioch and Plaisance of Gibelet. Like his father before him, Bohemond had a notorious dislike for the Knights Hospitaller and the neighbouring Kingdom of Armenia, preferring an alliance with the Knights Templar. Peace with Armenia was assured only shortly before his death, with the mediation of Louis IX of France.
In 1225, Bohemond was married to Cypriote queen dowager Alice of Champagne. Their childless marriage ended in annulment after 5 July 1227. His second marriage was in 1235 to Lucienne of Segni, a great-niece of Pope Innocent III. He had two children:
Plaisance of Antioch, a daughter who became the third wife of King Henry I of Cyprus in 1251
Bohemond VI of Antioch
Bohemond V died in January 1252. Since his son and successor was only 15 at the time, the young Bohemond VI succeeded under the regency of the dowager princess, Lucienne.
