In this paper we prove that the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a particle in the five dimensional Kerr-(A)dS black hole is separable, for arbitrary rotation parameters. As a result we find an irreducible Killing tensor. We also consider the Klein-Gordon equation in this background and show that this is also separable. Finally, we comment on extensions and implications of these results.
