Arkansas Highway 5 (AR 5) is a designation for three state highways in Arkansas. The southern segment of 45.84 miles (73.77 km) runs from U.S. Route 70 (US 70) east of Hot Springs north to Interstate 430 (I-430) in Little Rock.[2][3]

A northern segment of 146.63 miles (235.98 km) runs from I-57 in Cabot north to the Missouri state line, including a lengthy overlap with Highway 25 between Heber Springs and Wolf Bayou.[4][5][6] A portion of this route is designated as part of the Sylamore Scenic Byway.[7] This segment also contained a former spur route in Mountain Home.

The Main Street Bridge in Little Rock carries a third, unsigned, Highway 5 designation. The bridge is 0.38 miles (0.61 km) in span.[1]

All three routes are maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).
