HD5 was a Singaporean free-to-air television channel that was launched as the high-definition version of Channel 5. The channel was the first HD broadcast on DTT in Southeast Asia. HD5 aired 10 hours of HD-produced series each week, including movies, dramas, and original productions made by Mediacorp.

In late 2013, Channel 5 HD was launched on DTT and aired simulcast programming with Channel 5's SD feed. Due to national availability of Channel 5 HD, HD5 was shut down on 1 October 2017[1]
