Cyclopentanepentone, also known as leuconic acid, is a hypothetical organic compound with formula C₅O₅, the fivefold ketone of cyclopentane. It would be an oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon), indeed a pentamer of carbon monoxide.

As of 2000, the compound had yet to be synthesized in bulk, but there have been reports of trace synthesis.
