The 5th Parliament of Singapore was a meeting of the Parliament of Singapore. It commenced its first and only session on 3 February 1981 and was dissolved on 4 December 1984.
The members of the Fifth Parliament were elected in the 1980 general election. Parliament was controlled by a People's Action Party majority, led by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his Cabinet. Yeoh Ghim Seng served as speaker.
The Fifth Parliament was notable for the first presence of opposition since 1968 when J. B. Jeyaretnam, leader of the Workers' Party, won the 1981 by-election in Anson, which was previously held by PAP legislator Devan Nair, who resigned to assume the office of the President of Singapore.
