Fifth Harmony is the third and final studio album by American girl group Fifth Harmony, released on August 25, 2017, through Syco Music and Epic Records. The album's lyrics discuss themes of female empowerment, confidence, love and unity. After having few to no writing credits on their previous two studio albums, the group assumed creative control over their third album and co-wrote more than half of its songs. The album features a guest appearance by rapper Gucci Mane and collaborations with several notable producers such as Ammo, who contributed to their 2016 smash hit "Work from Home", along with Poo Bear and Skrillex.

The lead single "Down", which features rapper Gucci Mane, was released on June 2, 2017, and received gold certification in the United States. The second single "He Like That" was released on digital and streaming platforms on September 19, 2017. As did the band's previous releases, the sound of Fifth Harmony is characterized primarily as pop and R&B and includes influences from other genres, including hip hop, tropical house, reggae, dancehall, synthpop and trap music; it was described as "versatile". The song "Angel" was released as the first promotional single on August 11, 2017. The group also released a music video for "Don't Say You Love Me" on May 18, 2018, as a goodbye note after their hiatus; it also explains a mysterious, untitled photograph Fifth Harmony uploaded on the social media platforms Twitter and Instagram.

Some critics noted a resemblance between Fifth Harmony and the band's previous album 7/27 (2016). Fifth Harmony debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 46,000 copies in its first week and becoming Fifth Harmony's fourth top-ten entry and third top-five entry. It also debuted inside the top tens of several countries, including Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom; in Mexico, it debuted at number three and in Spain, it debuted at number one.

Fifth Harmony is the group's only album not to feature Camila Cabello, who left the group in December 2016 to pursue a solo career. The album also remains their final release, as following its release, the group went on hiatus so that their members could pursue solo careers. The album was promoted with the PSA Tour, between September 2017 and May 2018.
