The 5th federal electoral district of Tabasco () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Tabasco.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.
Tabasco's 5th was created as part of the 1977 political reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Tabasco's seat allocation rose from three to five. The new district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Beatriz Milland Pérez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
