John V of Saxe-Lauenburg (also numbered John IV;[1] 18 July 1439 – 15 August 1507) was the eldest son of Duke Bernard II of Saxe-Lauenburg and Adelheid of Pomerania-Stolp (1410 – after 1445), daughter of Duke Bogislaus VIII of Pomerania-Stolp. He succeeded his father in 1463 as duke of Saxe-Lauenburg.

  1. ^ Some genealogies do not list and count John V's uncle John IV, since he was only a co-ruling duke and died without children. So when John V is counted as IV then he is often confused with his son John IV, prince-bishop of Hildesheim of that name.
