A pentose is a simple sugar molecule made up of five carbon atoms. Pentoses are important building blocks in biology—for example, ribose is a pentose found in RNA, and deoxyribose is a pentose found in DNA.

Pentosen (von griech. pente fünf) sind Monosaccharide, deren Kohlenstoffgrundgerüst fünf Kohlenstoffatome enthält. In nicht reduzierter Form haben sie die Summenformel C5H10O5 und unterscheiden sich durch die Art der Carbonylfunktion. Handelt es sich um eine Ketogruppe, so spricht man von Ketopentosen, bei einer Aldehyd-Gruppe nennt man sie Aldopentosen.
