The 5th Armored Division (French: 5e Division Blindée, 5e DB) was an armored division of the French Army that fought in World War II and the Algerian War.

The Division was a critical part of the French 1st Army under General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, and came ashore with the U.S. 6th Army Group, under Lt. Gen. Jacob Devers, in the Operation Dragoon invasion of southern France in August 1944.

The 5th Armored Division particularly distinguished itself in the assault and capture of Stuttgart, Germany in April 1945.

During the Cold War, the division was initially stationed in Germany; its HQ was in Landau, Palatinate.

The French Army in Germany was drastically reduced after the end of the Cold War; the 5th was dissolved on 30 June 1992.
