USS S-5 (SS-110), also known as "Submarine No. 110", was an S-3-class, also referred to as a "Government"-type, submarine of the United States Navy.
She sunk on 1 September 1920, when the main air induction valve jammed in the open position, causing her to flood. The crew was rescued, but the boat was lost.
