David V (Georgian: დავით V, romanized: davit V; 1113 — 1155),[1] of the Bagrationi dynasty, was the king (mepe) of the Kingdom of Georgia from 1154 until his death in 1155.
In the 1140s, King Demetrius I had quarreled and disinherited David and chosen his youngest son, Prince George, as heir apparent.
But Demetrius was restored to the throne, and he crowned his younger son, George, as co-ruler and retired to David Gareja monastery.

He claims that the Orbelis had been the witnesses of this vow and that they led the 1177 revolt to restore Demna, who was now adult, to his rightful position.
