Mediacorp Channel 5 (Chinese: 5頻道, Before 1 January 2005: 新加坡電視 (English: "Television Singapore") and 第5波道 (English: "Saluran 5" and "5th Frequency") is a 24-hour English general news and entertainment free-to-air terrestrial television channel in Singapore.

Programmes on Channel 5 normally include English dramas either made in-house or obtained from overseas, movies, sports, reality show, variety show, news, current affairs and game show programmes. Local editions of overseas programmes like Singapore Idol, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Deal or No Deal have also been produced.

Channel 5 was launched as its first pilot television service on 15 February 1963 as "Televisyen Singapura (Chinese: 新加坡電視)". The channel operated two hours of monochrome service as test transmissions. It officially inaugurated its regular television broadcast service on 2 April 1963 as "Saluran 5 Televisyen Singapura (Chinese: 新加坡電視第5波道)", although the station also aired Mandarin programmes at the time. Its sister station Saluran 8 Televisyen Singapura (Chinese: 新加坡電視第8波道) was launched on 23 November 1963 with a mix of Chinese and Tamil language programmes.

Following the separation from Malaysia, radio became Radio Singapore and television became Television Singapura. Operations were merged into Radio Television Singapore (RTS, Chinese: 新加坡廣播電視) and it was relocated from Singapore Television Centre to Caldecott Broadcast Centre on 27 August 1966.
