Tram route 5 is a public transport service in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It runs from the University of Melbourne in the city centre to Malvern East in the eastern suburbs. (The destination is, however, displayed as Malvern, although the route technically ends within Malvern East. This is to avoid confusion with route 3 which also terminates in Malvern East). It runs through the suburbs of Melbourne, Windsor, Prahran, Armadale, Malvern, and Malvern East. Like most tram routes in Melbourne, it is entirely within Metcard ticketing Zone 1.

During the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games the route was merged with route 55 West Coburg to alleviate congestion along St Kilda Road services. The temporary through routing was useful in helping daily commuters utilise other connection train stations at the city's west end. At Domain Interchange, a junction was instated. This set of switches has since been disabled after the demerger.
