Lavočkin La-5 (rusky: Лавочкин Ла-5) byl sovětský jednomotorový stíhací letoun masově vyráběný a nasazený během druhé světové války. Tento typ byl následníkem vývojové řady letadel LaGG-3 a stal se jedním z nejlepších sovětských stíhacích strojů nasazených v konfliktu.

The Lavochkin La-5 (Лавочкин Ла-5) was a Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II. It was a development and refinement of the LaGG-3, replacing the earlier model’s inline engine with the much more powerful Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine. It was one of the Soviet Air Force’s most capable types of warplane, able to fight German designs on an equal footing.
