The A5 highway is a highway in Lithuania (Magistralinis kelias). It runs from Kaunas to the Polish border, toward Suwałki and ultimately - Warsaw. The length of the road is 97.86 km (60.81 mi). A section of the A5 highway - western bypass of Kaunas, including the Lampėdžiai Bridge across the Nemunas River, has been reconstructed to a modern dual carriageway without one-level crossroads or U-turns.

The road will be reconstructed to motorway in a whole length. It will connect Kaunas with expressway S61 in Poland.

Most of the A5 highway is coded Via Baltica in the European route system. The E67 highway ultimately connects Prague with Tallinn/Helsinki.
