El cromosoma 5 és un dels 23 parells de cromosomes en l'home. Normalment hi ha dues còpies d'aquest cromosoma. El cromosoma 5 té al voltant de 181 milions de parells de bases i representa al voltant del 6% del total de l'ADN de la cèl·lula. El cromosoma 5 és un dels més grans, encara que té una de les més baixes densitats de gens.
