  This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on
Verification and Program Transformation (VPT 2017). The workshop took place in
Uppsala, Sweden, on April 29th, 2017, affiliated with the European Joint
Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS). The aim of the VPT
workshop series is to provide a forum where people from the areas of program
transformation and program verification can fruitfully exchange ideas and gain
a deeper understanding of the interactions between those two fields. Seven
papers were presented at the workshop. Additionally, three invited talks were
given by Javier Esparza (Technische Universit\"at M\"unchen, Germany), Manuel
Hermenegildo (IMDEA Software Institute, Madrid, Spain), and Alexey Khoroshilov
(Linux Verification Center, ISPRAS, Moscow, Russia).
