Dança dos Famosos 5 was the fifth season of Brazilian reality television show Dança dos Famosos which premiered February 24, 2008 and ended May 11, 2008 on the Rede Globo television network.

Ten celebrities were paired with ten professional ballroom dancers. Fausto Silva and Adriana Colin were the hosts for this season.

Actress Christiane Torloni won the competition over Malhação Cast Member Rafael Almeida.^[1][2]
