Count John V of Nassau-Siegen (9 November 1455 – 30 July 1516), , official titles: Graf zu Nassau, Vianden und Diez, Herr zu Breda, was since 1475 Count of Nassau-Siegen (a part of the County of Nassau) and of half Diez. He descended from the Ottonian Line of the House of Nassau. For a short time he was Stadtholder of Guelders and Zutphen. During his reign, the Katzenelnbogische Erbfolgestreit with the Landgraves of Hesse began, which did not end until 41 years after his death.

John V is somewhat overshadowed by his older brother Engelbert II. In the relevant reference works about the dynastic history of the House of Orange-Nassau, especially in Dutch book editions, he is sometimes completely missing. In the very well founded biographical dictionary Oranje-Nassau by the Dutch historian Dr. Reinildis van Ditzhuyzen, for instance, one searches in vain for a mention of this Count of Nassau-Siegen, whereas his brother is praised there as a ‘complete Dutch nobleman’.
