The 5th Battalion of Territorial Defense was a unit of the Ukranian Сухопутні війська, formed in May 2014 with residents from Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

On August 23, the battalion left its positions and returned to Ivano-Frankivks without an order from the higher command.
The commander was arrested on suspicion of desertion, while soldiers were charged for evasion from service in a combat environment.
The battalion was disbanded in January 2015 and ceased to exist.
