The Banquet of the Five Kings was a meeting, in 1363, of the kings of England, Scotland, France, Denmark and Cyprus. It was arranged by Sir Henry Picard, a former Lord Mayor of London. The five kings were:
- Peter I of Cyprus

The occasion (the toast of the five kings) was hosted by the Vintners' Company at their hall in the City of London.
The Cypriot beverage company KEO created a brandy, produced in Limassol, to commemorate the occasion.
