Provincial Trunk Highway 5 (PTH 5) is a provincial primary highway located in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The highway starts at the Hansboro–Cartwright Border Crossing on the Canada–United States border and ends at the Saskatchewan boundary 13.6 kilometres (8.5 mi) west of Roblin. Besides Roblin, it passes through the communities of Cartwright, Glenboro, Carberry, Neepawa, McCreary, Ste. Rose Du Lac, Grandview, and Gilbert Plains along its route.

The highway, in a section concurrent with PTH 10, bypasses the city of Dauphin (PTH 5A / 10A does run through Dauphin).

The segment of PTH 5 between PTH 10 and Ste. Rose Du Lac is part of the Northern Woods and Water Route. Further south, PTH 5 is also the main route through Spruce Woods Provincial Park between Glenboro and Carberry. Throughout its entire length, PTH 5 carries the Parks Route designation.

PTH 5, along with PTH 20 and PTH 50, has the distinction of being both a north-south and an east-west highway, though PTH 20 is officially designated north-south for its entire route. From the Canada–United States border to PTH 68 east of Ste. Rose du Lac, PTH 5 is designated as a north-south highway. From PTH 68 to the Saskatchewan border, its designation changes to east-west.
