Michigan's 5th House of Representatives district is a legislative district within the Michigan House of Representatives located in the counties of Oakland and Wayne. The district was created in 1965, when the Michigan Supreme Court ordered the reapportionment of state legislative districts from a county-based system to a proportional one following the Supreme Court case Reynolds v. Sims. It is currently represented by Democrat Regina Weiss of Oak Park.
