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 - Kaunas-Marijampolė, has been upgraded to a motorway, accessed only via grade-separated junctions, and completed in 2017/18. It is the first motorway built after Lithuania entered the European Union in 2004. Another 12.5 km (7.8 mi) between Marijampolė and Kalvarija were completed by December 2023.

The remainder of the road is being upgraded to motorway specifications. It will connect Kaunas with expressway S61 in Poland. The road will be only motorway connection between the Lithuanian motorway network and the rest of the European motorway network. The entire reconstruction up to the Polish border is due to be completed by the end of 2025. As of May 2024, 6 km (3.7 mi) in the Kaunas region and another 16 km (9.9 mi) in the Marijampolė region are under reconstruction.

Most of the A5 highway is coded E67 in the European route system. It is a segment of the part of E67 named "Via Baltica", that spans the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. The E67 highway ultimately connects Prague with Tallinn/Helsinki.
