The 5th constituency of the Var (French: Cinquième circonscription du Var) is a French legislative constituency in the Var département. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using the two-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the first round.

The 4th constituency of the Var lies in the east of the department around the historic town of Fréjus and the neighbouring town of Saint-Raphaël.

The constituency has traditionally supported centre right candidates, however in the 2017 election the mainstream conservative The Republicans candidate came third in the first round behind both the Emmanuel Macron backed MoDems and the far right National Front.^[2]
