Line 5 of the Chengdu Metro (Chinese: 成都地铁5号线; pinyin: Chéngdū Dìtiě Wǔ Hào Xiàn) is a rapid transit line in Chengdu. It starts at Huagui Road and ends at Huilong. The total length is 49.018 km (30.5 mi).

Line 5's color is purple. This line began construction on 14 September 2015,^[1] was opened on 27 December 2019, from Huagui Road to Huilong.

Originally, the line was planned to use 6-car Type A rolling stock. However, anticipating high demand as the line will provide relief for the older Line 1 and connect several important business and residential areas, the line was redesigned to allow for expansion to use 8-car Type A rolling stock.^[2] This will allow for an ultimate configuration of the line to reach capacities of 64,300 people per hour per direction.^[3][4]
