Adarnase V, sometimes rendered as Adarnase II or Adarnase IV, () (died 961) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and hereditary ruler of Upper Tao with the Byzantine titles of magistros (945) and curopalates (958).
The name Adarnase derives from Middle Persian ÃÂdurnarsÃÂh, with the second component of the word (Nase) being the Georgian attestation of the Middle Persian name Narseh, which ultimately derives from Avestan nairyà Â.saà Âya-. The Middle Persian name Narseh also exists in Georgian as Nerse. The name ÃÂdurnarsÃÂh appears in the Armenian language as Atrnerseh.
Adarnase was the son of Bagrat Magistros and succeeded him as duke of Tao in 945. Adarnase and, more prominently, his son David III benefited from the weakness of their cousins, the "royal" Bagratid line of Iberia-Kartli, to assert their influence and prestige in the region. Adarnase was probably married to a daughter of David, member of the Klarjeti line of the Bagratids. They had two sons: David III, and Bagrat II, who forced him to resign and retire to a monastery.
