The 5th constituency of Paris (French: Cinquième circonscription de Paris) is a French legislative constituency in the department of Paris. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one member of the National Assembly using the two-round system. Its boundaries were heavily redrawn in 1988 and 2012. From 1958 until 1988 it was located on the Rive Gauche; since then it has been located on the Rive Droite. In the 2017 legislative election, Benjamin Griveaux of La République En Marche! (LREM) won a majority of the vote. Upon his appointment to the executive branch in 2017, he left his mandate to his substitute Élise Fajgeles, before regaining it in 2019.
