The Fifth Ward is a historical political district (ward) and a community northeast of downtown Houston, Texas. It is bounded (roughly) by Buffalo Bayou, Jensen Drive, Liberty Road, and Lockwood Drive.

One of the six wards of Houston, it was created partly from the First Ward, which ceded the area to the north and east of White Oak Bayou and Little White Oak Bayou, and the Second Ward, which ceded all land within the Houston city limits to the north of Buffalo Bayou.
