Texas District 5 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves an area that includes the southeast portion of Dallas County including Mesquite plus a number of smaller counties south and east of Dallas including Anderson, Cherokee, Henderson and Kaufman counties. As of the 2000 census, the 5th district represents 651,620 people. The current Representative from District 5 is Jeb Hensarling.

After the 2012 redistricting process, the eastern half of Wood County was removed, and there were slight changes to the district in Dallas County.

U.S. Congressional District borders are periodically redrawn, therefore some District Residence locations may no longer be in the 5th District.
