Abstract: A finite subset of a Euclidean space is called an $s$-distance set if there exist exactly $s$ values of the Euclidean distances between two distinct points in the set. In this paper, we prove that the maximum cardinality among all 5-distance sets in $mathbb{R}^3$ is 20, and every $5$-distance set in $mathbb{R}^3$ with $20$ points is similar to the vertex set of a regular dodecahedron.
