The fifth federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the district covers the state's eastern municipalities: Aldama, Aquiles Serdán, Camargo, Coyame del Sotol, Delicias, La Cruz, Jiménez, Julimes, Manuel Benavides, Meoqui, Ojinaga, Rosales, San Francisco de Conchos and Saucillo. Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Delicias.

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022 the fifth district comprised the same municipalities as in the 2022 plan, with its head town at Delicias.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting scheme, the fifth district was located in the east of the state, but its configuration was slightly different. It covered the municipalities of Aldama, Allende, Aquiles Serdán, Camargo, Coronado, Coyame del Sotol, Delicias, Jiménez, Julimes, La Cruz, López, Manuel Benavides, Meoqui, Ojinaga, Rosales, San Francisco de Conchos and Saucillo. The head town was the city of Delicias.

1996–2005

Chihuahua lost its tenth district in the 1996 redistricting process. Under the 1996 scheme, the fifth district was located in the same region of the state as in later plans, with a slightly different configuration. It covered the municipalities of Aldama, Aquiles Serdán, Camargo, Coyame del Sotol, Delicias, Julimes, La Cruz, Manuel Benavides, Meoqui, Ojinaga, Rosales, San Francisco de Conchos and Saucillo.

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten. The fifth district was located in the west of the state, covering a large area of the Sierra Madre Occidental. It was centred on the city of Vicente Guerrero and comprised the municipalities of Bachíniva, Bocoyna, Carichí, Chínipas, Gómez Farías, Guazapares, Guerrero, Maguarichi, Matachí, Moris, Namiquipa, Ocampo, Temósachi and Uruachi.
