The Fifth Quarter is an Australian rules football television program screening on Network Ten since 2004.

Beginning in the 2004 season, the show is a review show focusing on the Australian rules football football competition, AFL. Following each game on Saturday night, hosts Andrew Maher and Michael Christian go through the weekend's events so far in the games played and also topical matters that have appeared during the week. They also conduct interviews with players after the match. Some players to appear on the show include Shane Wakelin, Cheynee Stiller, Anthony Corrie and Warren Tredrea.

In 2006, the show was merged into Network Ten's Saturday night AFL coverage, still hosted by Christian and Maher but not listed as a separate program.

The popular long-running segment of the show is entitled Saturday Specials, and highlights all of the outstanding marks, goals or other efforts around the ground that took place on the day just finished.
