SMA Negeri 5 Bandung (also known as SMU 5 Bandung or SMA 5 Bandung) is a public high school located on Jalan Belitung in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. It shares the same building with SMA Negeri 3 Bandung, consequently giving the schools the nickname SMA Belitung Delapan after the street and recently being nicknamed as "Belitung Timur" because the school is located on the East Wing of Belitung Delapan building, while SMA Negeri 3 Bandung is "Belitung Barat" for its location on the West Wing.
Many graduates enroll in notable Indonesian universities, e.g. Institut Teknologi Bandung and Padjadjaran University.
