'''Chittagong-5''' is a constituency represented in the [[Jatiya Sangsad]] (National Parliament) of [[Bangladesh]]. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

== Boundaries == The constituency encompasses the entirety of [[Hathazari Upazila]], the [[Chittagong Cantonment]], and parts of the [[Chattogram City Corporation]], specifically No. 1 [[South Pahartali Ward]] and No. 2 [[Jalalabad Ward]], integrating these areas under a single administrative and electoral boundary.<ref name="maps" /><ref name="ecs" />
