The Hankyu 5000 series (阪急電鉄5000系, Hankyū dentetsu 5000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated in Japan by the private railway operator Hankyu Railway since 1967. It is mainly operated on the Imazu Line. In the past, it was also operated on the Kobe Main Line.

Trains were converted from 8-car sets to 6-car sets through 2020.[4]
