α-Pyrrolidinopentiothiophenone (also known as α-PVT) is a synthetic stimulant of the cathinone and thiopropamine (thiophenylpropylamine) families that has been sold online as a designer drug. It is an analogue of α-PVP where the phenyl ring has been replaced by thiophene.

α-PVT was first identified in Japan in 2013. Its metabolism has been described in literature.

It produces stimulating effects in humans, according to the individuals who have tried it. Most of the individuals who have tried it prefer α-PVP and α-PPP to it.
