The 5th Cavalry was a military unit of the British Indian Army. The regiment was raised at Bareilly as the 7th Irregular Cavalry in 1841 as a result of the First Afghan War. In 1861 it was renamed the 5th Regiment of Bengal Cavalry. The pre-Indian Mutiny of 1857 Bengal Light Cavalry regiments had been lost to mutiny or disbandment leaving the number free. In 1901 it was 5th Bengal Cavalry. The regiment amalgamated with the 8th Lancers in 1922 to form the 3rd Cavalry.
