The Tokyo Metro 5000 series (東京地下鉄5000系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 5000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type first built 1964, which currently operates as 3-car sets on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line branchline in Tokyo, Japan. 10-car sets were used on the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line until March 2007. Some sets have also been shipped to Indonesia, where they operate on the KRL Jabodetabek system in Jakarta.

Ten former Tōzai Line sets were converted in 1995 to Tōyō Rapid 1000 series EMUs for use on the Tōyō Rapid Railway extension of the Tōzai Line.

Three former Tōzai Line 10-car sets (5059, 5066, 5067) were sold to Indonesia in 2007, entering service with KRL Jabotabek in the Jakarta area from May 2007.[2]
