Taikō Risshiden V (太閤立志伝 V) is the latest title of a Japanese video game series Taikō Risshiden (turn-based sandbox role-playing video games/turn-based strategy) produced by Koei. It was released on PC and PlayStation 2 in 2004 followed by a port to PlayStation Portable in 2009. The first title of the series was released on NEC PC-9801 in 1992 followed by ports to Super Famicom and Genesis/Mega Drive.

The name of the game roughly means "the Taikō's success story". The characters are taken from the Momoyama period in Japan, classified in eight: in the previous Taikō Risshiden IV, a player picked a character from a samurai, a ninja or a merchant, and in Taikō Risshiden V, new roles are added as a blademaster, a pirate, a doctor, a tea master, and a blacksmith, eight in total. The player will meet various historical figures of the era in the game.
