《亨利五世》是英国剧作家威廉·莎士比亚创作的戏剧，1599年上演，1600年首次出版。
《亨利五世》以1414至1420年间英法两国交战并最终靖和的历史事实为背景，主要描述了亨利五世在战争前夕召集群臣商议、铲除内奸，哈弗娄城前劝降，阿金库尔大战等内容，浓郁的战争气氛笼罩全剧。该剧表达了爱国主义思想。
在开场白中，致辞者请观众突破舞台的局限，想象演员所表演的喧乱情景。然后，观众听到国王亨利已经改变了自己的浪荡习性，对傲慢的法国使臣（他带来了法国王储赠送的一袋网球）宣称，他要夺回法国先人侵占的英国领土。致辞者描绘了准备从扫桑顿启航的舰队，告诫说三个贵族正在密谋反对亨利。亨利逮捕了这三个贵族，舰队启航。在野猪头酒店，快嘴桂嫂向尼姆、巴道夫、毕斯托尔和侍童罗宾谈起了福斯塔夫的死讯。一行人决定当兵，去法国碰自己的运气。致辞者宣布已包围哈弗娄。观众看到了激烈的战斗，特别是英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰、威尔士的上尉（勇敢）和尼姆、巴道夫、毕斯托尔（不勇敢）参战的情景。尽管亨利获胜，但军队的战斗力减弱。随着冬天临近，他计划返国。这时，法国派人劝降，于是他改变主意，宣布进军卡菜。阿金库尔战役前夜，亨利乔装探访篝火周围的士兵。他同普通士兵威廉斯发生争执。威廉斯向亨利挑战，要在战役之后决一雌雄。与此同时，法国贵族以各人将俘获多少英国人下赌注。战斗打响，英军赢得了胜利。战斗中，侍童与其他看护辎重的孩子惨遭杀害。亨利解决了与威廉斯的争执。继致辞者的又一段简短介绍后，观众了解了阿金库尔战役之后的情况。首先，普通士兵区分出勇敢者和情夫（弗鲁爱林遇见自夸的毕斯托尔，强迫他吃韭菜，以抵消诋毁威尔士之过）。其次，亨利构筑了英法和平，并向凯瑟琳公主求婚。在此之前，观众已看到她腼腆地向侍女打听英格兰之事。
该剧取材于拉菲尔·霍林希德的《编年史》、爱德华·霍尔的《兰开斯特和约克这两个显赫贵族世家的结合》（The Union of the Two Noble and Illustrious Families of Lancaster and York）以及一些匿名的亨利传记，其中包括由一位曾参加阿金库尔战役的人写的《英格兰国王亨利五世的功绩》（Deeds ofKing Henry V of England）。
该剧约写于1598—1599年，1599年曾上演过，1600年印成四开本，1602、1619年再版。
Henry V is a play created by the British playwright William Shakespeare. It was staged in 1599 and first published in 1600.

Henry V “is set against the backdrop of the historical facts of the war between England and France between 1414 and 1420, which ultimately brought peace. It mainly describes Henry V’s gathering of courtiers on the eve of the war to discuss and eliminate internal traitors, persuading surrender in front of Havlough, and the Agincourt War, with a strong atmosphere of war enveloping the entire drama. The play expresses patriotic ideas.

In the opening remarks, the speaker invites the audience to break through the limitations of the stage and imagine the noisy scene performed by the actors. Then, the audience heard that King Henry had changed his promiscuous habits and declared to the arrogant French envoy (who brought a bag of tennis balls given by the French crown prince) that he wanted to reclaim British territory occupied by French ancestors. The speaker depicted the fleet preparing to set sail from Thornton, warning that three nobles were plotting against Henry. Henry arrested these three nobles and the fleet set sail. At the Boar Head Hotel, Quickmouth Gui told Nim, Badoff, Bistol, and the waiter Robin about Fostav’s death. The group decided to join the army and try their luck in France. The speaker announced that Havlou had been surrounded. The audience witnessed intense battles, especially the scenes of captains (brave) from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as well as Nim, Badoff, and Bistol (not brave) participating in the battle. Despite Henry’s victory, the combat effectiveness of the army weakened. As winter approaches, he plans to return to his country. At this moment, France sent someone to persuade him to surrender, so he changed his mind and announced the invasion of Cabot. On the night before the Battle of Agincourt, Henry disguised himself to visit the soldiers around the campfire. He had a dispute with ordinary soldier Williams. Williams challenged Henry to a showdown after the battle. At the same time, the French nobility bet on how many British people each would capture. The battle broke out and the British army won victory. During the battle, the attendant and other children guarding the baggage were brutally killed. Henry resolved the dispute with Williams. After another brief introduction by the speaker, the audience learned about the situation after the Battle of Agincourt. Firstly, ordinary soldiers distinguish between brave men and lovers (Fraulein met the boastful Bishop and forced him to eat leeks to counteract the defamation of Wales). Secondly, Henry built peace between England and France and proposed to Princess Catherine. Prior to this, the audience had already seen her shyly asking the maid about England.

The play is based on Raphael Hollinghead’s “Chronicles”, Edward Hall’s “The Union of the Two Noble and Illustrious Families of Lancaster and York”, as well as some anonymous biographies of Henry, including “Deeds of King Henry V of England” written by a person who participated in the Battle of Agincourt.

The play was written around 1598-1599 and was performed in 1599. It was printed in quadruplicate in 1600 and reprinted in 1602 and 1619.
