Pentagón Jr. (born February 26, 1985) also known as Pentagón Dark and currently Penta el 0M or Penta el Zero M (Cero Miedo, "Zero Fear") is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. He recently worked for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and also wrestles for Lucha Underground, where he is the current Lucha Underground Champion in his first reign, as well as one-half of the current Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) World tag team Champions, also in his first reign. In January 2017 he left AAA and announced that he was working for Mexican wrestling promotion "The Crash". His real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico, where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.

On June 25 at Ultima Lucha Tres, Pentagón Dark defeated Son of Havoc in a ladder match to win the vacant Gift of the Gods Championship, which also earned him a future shot at the Lucha Underground Championship.
