Sobekhotep V was an Egyptian king of the 13th Dynasty. His birth name was Sobekhotep, and his throne was Khahetepre

Sobekhotep V appears in the Turin King List as successor of Sobekhotep IV. He reigned according to this document only for four years. Sobekhotep IV was perhaps his father, as he had a son called 'Sobekhotep'. Sobekhotep V is known from a statue found at Kerma and from several scarab seals.
