Connecticut's 5th House of Representatives district elects one member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. The district consists of the northeastern part of the city of Hartford, including the Blue Hills and Clay Arsenal neighborhoods, as well as Downtown Hartford. The district is one of the few in Connecticut with a Black majority population. Owing to this fact, it is one of the safest House districts in Connecticut for Democrats.

It has been represented by Maryam Khan since March 1, 2022.[1]
