"Phoenix Five" is a low-budget Australian science fiction television series produced in 1970 by Artransa Park in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Twenty-six half-hour episodes were produced, and the series originally aired between 10 January and 3 July 1970. The series was repeated on Seven Network in Australia, and broadcast internationally throughout the 1970s.

The series followed the adventures of the crew of the galactic patrol ship "Phoenix Five", "the most sophisticated craft in the Earth Space Control Fleet." This handpicked team: Captain Roke, a typical captain with a solution to every problem; Ensign Adam Hargraves, a young space cadet always ready to shoot first and skip the questions; compassionate Cadet Tina Culbrick; and their computeroid Carl; roamed the planets protecting galactic citizens and warding off the repeated plots and attacks of the evil humanoid Zodian and a rebel scientist Platonus.
