Michigan's 5th congressional district is a United States congressional district in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

The district is represented by Republican Tim Walberg.

From 1873 to 1993, the 5th was based in the Grand Rapids area of Western Michigan.

Its most notable member was Gerald Ford, who in 1974 became the 38th President of the United States upon the resignation of Richard Nixon, at the height of the Watergate Scandal.

After the 2000 census, this district was extended to Flint, previously the core of the 9th district; however, it was geographically and demographically the successor of the 9th.
