America's Next Top Model (cycle 5) was the fifth cycle of America's Next Top Model. This season marks the first appearance of Twiggy and J. Alexander as judges. The prizes for this cycle included: a contract with Ford Models, a spread and cover in Elle Girl magazine, and a $100,000 USD contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.

For this cycle, the international destination was initially set to be London, England, marking the first time the event would be held in a primarily English-speaking international location. However, due to safety concerns arising from terrorist incidents in London, the final runway show was subsequently relocated to Los Angeles.

The cast size was reduced from 14 to 13, which was maintained up until cycle 10.

The winner was 19-year-old Nicole Linkletter from Grand Forks, North Dakota with Nick Pace placing as the runner-up.

Sixth-placer Lisa D'Amato would later claim victory as the winner of cycle 17: All-Stars.
