Archery at the 2005 SEA Games was held at Remy Field, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales, Philippines.

There were eight gold medals contested, with individual and team events for men and the same for women.

This was the first year that the compound archery category was introduced at the SEA Games.

The three final rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal matches) each used four ends of three arrows.

The teams consisted of the country's three archers from the individual round, and the team's initial ranking was determined by summing the three members' scores in the individual ranking round.
