Amadeus V (1249 – 16 October 1323), also known as Amadeus the Great, was Count of Savoy from 1285 until his death. In recognition of his service to the Holy Roman Empire, he was granted the titles of Imperial Count and Imperial Vicar of Lombardy, along with lordship over Asti and Ivrea.

A prominent medieval ruler, he played a pivotal role in expanding and consolidating the House of Savoy's influence across regions that today form parts of France, Italy, and Switzerland.
