Hugh V (1294 – 9 May 1315) was Duke of Burgundy between 1306 and 1315.

Hugh was the eldest son of Duke Robert II of Burgundy and Agnes of France.

Hugh was betrothed to Catherine of Valois in 1302, but the engagement was broken off on 30 September 1312. He had no known descendants. He was involved in the Crusades and was also titular King of Thessalonica, a title he sold in 1313 to his brother Louis in exchange for the latter's rights to Burgundy.
