Conspiracy No. 5 is the second major-label studio album by American Christian rock band Third Day, released on August 26, 1997, by Reunion Records and Silverstone Records. It was produced by Sam Taylor, who encouraged the band to experiment with different musical styles. The album's name came from the band's interest in conspiracy theories, and a dictionary definition defining "conspiracy" as people gathering together to accomplish a common goal.

In comparison to the band's first album, which drew comparisons to Hootie & the Blowfish - comparisons Third Day considered unfair - Conspiracy No. 5 adopts a more aggressive alternative rock style, with "grunge-style" guitars. The lyrics are less straightforwardly religious, but focus on the sinful nature of humanity and the need for redemption. Conspiracy received highly favorable reviews from music critics, who regarded it as an improvement over the band's debut record; the record's production, along with the guitar work and lead singer Mac Powell's vocals, were commonly praised. It won the award for Rock Album of the Year at the 29th GMA Dove Awards, and was nominated for Best Rock Gospel Album at the 40th Grammy Awards.

In its first week of release, Conspiracy No. 5 sold 23,000 copies, debuting at number fifty on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Billboard Christian Albums chart. Eight singles from the album were released to Christian radio, and all of them reached the top five on The CCM Update charts. However, the album was not as commercially successful as the band's debut album; some fans of Third Day were disappointed in their shift towards alternative rock, and the band would return to a southern rock sound on their next album Time (1999). As of July 2007, Conspiracy No, 5 has sold over 305,000 copies, and it is Third Day's lowest-selling studio album as of 2016.
