Sancho of Aragon (c. 1042 – June 4, 1094, Huesca) was king of Aragon (1063–1094) and of Navarre (1076–1094) as Sancho V of Navarre. He was also called Sancho Ramirez.
He was the son of Ramiro I of Aragon and Ermesinde of Bigorre, and he succeeded his father Ramiro in 1063. He was elected king of Navarre in 1076 after Sancho IV of Navarre was murdered by his own brother or brothers, and the succession there went into crisis. Sancho's young son Garcia was recognized as titular king in Leon and Castile, where he lived in exile.
Sancho V conquered Barbastro in 1065, Graus in 1083, and Monzon in 1089.
He married firstly c. 1065 (divorced 1071) Isabel of Urgel (d. c. 1071), daughter of Count Armengol III, and secondly 1076 Felicie de Roucy (d May 3, 1123), daughter of Count Hilduin III of Roucy.
His three sons, Pedro, Alfonso and Ramiro, succeeded in turn to the throne of Aragon.
