According to Native American Hopi mythology, the current world, the Fourth World, is coming to an end. The beginning of the imminent Fifth World will be heralded by the arrival of a being known as Pahana, or the lost "White Brother".

Navajo creationism, in articulating the origin of the Navajo people, uses similar terminology to describe their emergence through four worlds and into a fifth.

Fifth World is also an appellation sometimes ascribed to certain New Age beliefs of recent origin and limited currency. In this context the term appears to be largely derivative of American Indian mysticism.

-==Fifth world nations==
-Certain groups consider themselves '''fifth world nations''', separate from the widely accepted [[first world]], [[second world]], [[third world]], and "[[fourth world]]" [[nation]]s.  Although sometimes referred to as [[micronation]]s, fifth world nations share traits distinct from micronations, most importantly the inconsistency with current international laws.
-Fifth world nations reject various international treaties, including the [[Montevideo Convention]], the [[Outer Space Treaty]], the [[Antarctic Treaty]], and the [[United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea]] because these laws and treaties imply that places outside of territorial jurisdiction are open to sovereignty or any measure of legislative control.
-The fifth world is not as concerned with spatially defined territory as it is with [[cyberspace]], which according to their beliefs is an extension of the human mind.
-Fifth world nations believe that Roman law (jus sanguinis/jus soli) doesn't apply at all to the Internet. Any territorial nation's claim to the Internet based on the location of a server or client is illegitimate according to this philosophy.
