Atlanta's 5th City Council district

Atlanta's 5th City Council district is one of the twelve geographic districts in the Atlanta City Council. It is currently represented by Liliana Bakhtiari, who was elected in 2022 after defeating challenger Mandy Mahoney to succeed incumbent Natalyn Mosby Archibong.

The district was created in 1973 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former at-large six-member Board of Aldermen with a 15-member City Council of 12 districts and 6 (later 3) at-large posts. A previous Fifth Ward existed in various forms from 1854 to 1954.
