A fifth wheel cover assembly includes a fifth wheel that is mounted to a semi tractor. A cover is slidably positioned over the fifth wheel and the cover is structured to conform to the shape of the fifth wheel. A pair of springs is each of the springs is coupled between the cover and a connection point on the semi tractor to bias the cover into a covering position having the cover completely covering the fifth wheel. The cover is slidable into an exposing position having the cover being displaced from the fifth wheel. A brace is attached to the cover and the brace is strategically positioned such that the king pin of the trailer abuts the brace and urges the cover into the exposing positioned when the semi trailer is attached to the fifth wheel.
