State Route 5 (abbreviated SR 5) is part of Maine's system of numbered state highways, located in the southern and western parts of the state. It is a major regional route, running 118.54 miles (190.77 km) from an intersection with State Route 9 in Old Orchard Beach, to an intersection with State Route 120 in Andover.
From its southern terminus near the Pier in Old Orchard Beach, SR 5 leaves the town to the west, going towards the neighboring city of Saco. The route runs northwest from Saco, passes very briefly through a Northwest corner of Biddeford, and intersects US 202 near the Lyman-Waterboro line. SR 5 runs concurrently with US 202 for a short distance to East Waterboro.
Between Waterboro and Cornish, SR 5 is known as the Sokokis Trail. North of Cornish, the highway follows the Saco River, crossing it at Hiram, to the town of Fryeburg. SR 5 continues north through Lovell to Bethel, where it intersects US 2. The two routes run together along the Androscoggin River to Rumford Point in the town of Rumford, where SR 5 leaves to the north. It follows parallel to the west bank of the Ellis River to the route's end in Andover.
