Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 5 is a video game developer under the Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development structure that is owned by Nintendo. It was previously one of the groups under the Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development structure. Under EAD, Shigeru Miyamoto and Katsuya Eguchi were the heads of this group and the others (which are numbered 1-5 and Tokyo 1 & 2), though the general manager and producer of this one was Hisashi Nogami. Their projects include almost every Wii series video game for the Wii and all entries into the Animal Crossing series. The first title they've worked on was Animal Crossing for the GameCube.

With the EPD transition, Aya Kyogoku took over as group manager as Miyamoto and Eguchi transitioned to higher positions within the company. Some of the employees were absorbed into EPD4, which went on to develop Nintendo Switch Sports.
