  We report the discovery of a candidate brown dwarf or a very low mass stellar
companion (MARVELS-5b) to the star HIP 67526 from the Multi-object APO Radial
Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS). The radial velocity curve for
this object contains 31 epochs spread over 2.5 years. Our Keplerian fit using a
Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach, reveals that the companion has an orbital
period of $90.2695^{+0.0188}_{-0.0187}$ days, an eccentricity of $0.4375 \pm
0.0040$ and a semi-amplitude of $2948.14^{+16.65}_{-16.55}$ m s$^{-1}$. Using
additional high-resolution spectroscopy, we find the host star has an effective
temperature $T_{\rm{eff}}=6004 \pm 34$ K, a surface gravity $\log g$ [cgs]
$=4.55 \pm 0.17$ and a metallicity [Fe/H] $=+0.04 \pm 0.06$. The stellar mass
and radius determined through the empirical relationship of Torres et al.
(2010), yields 1.10$\pm$0.09 $M_{\sun}$ and 0.92$\pm$0.19 $R_{\sun}$. The
minimum mass of MARVELS-5b is $65.0 \pm 2.9 M_{Jup}$, indicating that it is
likely to be either a brown dwarf or a very low mass star, thus occupying a
relatively sparsely-populated region of the mass function of companions to
solar-type stars. The distance to this system is 101$\pm$10 pc from the
astrometric measurements of Hipparcos. No stellar tertiary is detected in the
high-contrast images taken by either FastCam lucky imaging or Keck adaptive
optics imaging, ruling out any star with mass greater than 0.2$M_{\sun}$ at a
separation larger than 40 AU.
