5th federal electoral district of Zacatecas

The 5th federal electoral district of Zacatecas () was a federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Zacatecas from 1977 to 2006.

During its existence, the 5th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th Congresses. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.

Suspended in 1930, it was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election. After electing its final deputy in the 2003 mid-terms, it was dissolved in the Federal Electoral Institute's 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted five districts.

Its head town (), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was the city of Juchipila in the extreme south of the state.

1978–1996 The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Zacatecas's district allocation rose from four to five. The restored 5th district had its head town at Guadalupe and it covered 15 municipalities.
