Line 5 of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁5号线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě wǔhào xiàn) was Beijing's first subway with a north-south route. It runs for 27.6 km, in a near straight line, just east of the city centre from Tiantongyuan North in Changping District to Songjiazhuang in Fengtai District. Metro Line 5 is planned to be Beijing's first true north-south line. Unlike Line 2 and Line 13 which north south travel must transfer between portions of the loop and half loop, line 5 is a straight line that more effectively relieves north south traffic pressure in Beijing. In addition, the Line will serve the booming communities of Tiantongyuan in the north which lack any subway connection. It entered into operation on October 2007. After the start of construction, house prices along the line began to rapidly grow. In a short period of 20 days after the opening, the surrounding housing prices along the subway line increased 23.3% , reaching nearly 20,000 yuan RMB / square meter. Line 5's color is      maroon.

Starting fare of RMB(¥) 3.00 that increases according to the distance fare scheme introduced in December 2014.

The first south-bound trains departs from Tiantongyuan North at 4:59am. The first north-bound train departs from Songjiazhuang at 5:19am . The last south-bound train leaves Tiantongyuan North at 10:47pm. The last north-bound train leaves Songjiazhuang at 11:10pm. For the official timetable, see.

On a map, Line 5 runs vertically, beginning with three stops in the far northern suburb of Tiantongyuan in Changping District, well beyond the 5th Ring Road, then crossing Line 13 at Lishuiqiao Station, and entering into the vast residential swaths of Chaoyang District on either side of the Yuan dynasty city wall. At Huixinxijie Nankou Station, it links up with Line 10. Further south, it skirts east of the Temple of Earth and meets Line 2 Loop at the Yonghegong, also known as the Lama Temple. Then Line 5 cuts through the old neighborhoods of Dongcheng District and the old foreign Legation Quarter between Dongdan and Chongwenmen. Further south, Line 5 stops at the eastern entrance to the Temple of Heaven in Chongwen District and eventually reaches Songjiazhuang in Fengtai District south of the city, where the station actually lies west-east, in contrast to other stops (where it lies north-south). It takes 49 minutes to cover all the 23 stations. Zhangzizhonglu Station, named after a general martyred in World War II, is the only eponymous station of the Beijing Subway.
