Pentacarbon dioxide, officially penta-1,2,3,4-tetraene-1,5-dione, is an oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon) with formula C5O2 or O=C=C=C=C=C=O.

The compound was described in 1988 by Günter Maier and others, who obtained it by pyrolysis of 2,4,6-tris(diazo)cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione (C6N6O3).: 97  Diazo transfer can produce the latter compound from phloroglucinol. It is stable at room temperature in solution. The pure compound is stable up to −90 °C, at which point it polymerizes.: 100
