Kia K5, tidligere kjent som Kia Optima, er en mellomklassebil produsert av Kia siden 2000 og markedsført globalt under ulike navn. Biler fra første generasjon ble hovedsakelig markedsført som Optima, selv om Kia Magentis-navnet ble brukt i Europa og Canada da salget startet der i 2002. For annengjenerasjonsmodellene brukte Kia navnene Kia Lotze og Kia K5 på det sørkoreanske markedet, og Magentis-navnet globalt, bortsett fra i USA, Canada, Malaysia og Midtøsten, hvor Optima-navnet ble beholdt til modellåret 2021. K5-navnet blir brukt i alle markeder siden introduksjonen av femte generasjon i 2019.
