North Carolina's 5th congressional district covers the central western portion of North Carolina from the Appalachian Mountains to the Metrolina western suburbs. The district borders Tennessee and Virginia, with the bulk of its territory in the mountains. The district is overwhelmingly Republican. Large portions were controlled by Republicans even during the "Solid South" era as much of northwestern North Carolina was Quaker or mountaineer and therefore resisted secession.

For the 2020 election the district has been updated per House Bill 1029 enacted by the NC General Assembly on November 15, 2019, becoming Session Law 2019–249.
