Alexios V Doukas (Greek: Ἀλέξιος Δούκας; c. 1140 – 1204), or Alexius V Ducas, reigned as Emperor of the Byzantine Empire briefly from February to April 1204.

Alexios was elected as Emperor on 27 January 1204, inheriting a severely weakened empire that had been plagued by an internal civil war within the reigning {{W<iki|Angelos|Angelos dynasty}}. Despite Alexios' attempts to rally and repel the city's occupation against the invading Crusaders,[1] the Byzantines rebelled against the emperor and the Crusaders invaded and sacked the city.[2] Alexios himself attempted to escape but was eventually captured and executed in December 1204.[1]
