Sheshonq (or V according to the authors) is king de Tanis of, known as lybian. It reigns between -767 and -730. Manéthon calls it Chechanq.

He is the son and successor of Pimay, as the stele of Sérapeum reveals it, year of his reign. Under this reign, the royal capacity continues to crumble. The king controls nothing any more but the north of the country.

In -747 three new kingdoms in addition to Léontopolis are formed: Héracléopolis, Hermopolis and Lycopolis (Assiout).

Sheshonq leaves a very beautiful monument to Tanis dedicated to God Khonsou. The Nubians continue their progression and occupy Thèbes. He marries Tadibastet {{II}} and has a child Osorkon {{IV}} which succeeds to him. There is no consensus as for the attribution of its reign to this dynasty.
