The D-Lux 5 is a compact digital camera from Leica introduced in 2010. It is based on the same internals as the Panasonic DMC-LX5, but with different body styling and firmware. Leica also sold the camera in a bundle including the high-end editor software Lightroom from Adobe.

Both the D-Lux 5 and the LX5 include a DC Vario-Summicron zoom which is notable for its wide 24mm coverage (in 35mm equivalent terms) and fast f/2.0 aperture when zoomed all the way out. At the 90mm (equivalent) long end, the aperture drops to f/3.3. The 10-megapixel sensor is slightly larger than those typical of compact point & shoots, which allows some improvement in noise performance at high ISO settings. Alongside the black version, a special titanium-bodied edition was sold at extra cost.
