In this report we calculate GAMMA/sub 5/, the rate for orthopositronium to decay to five photons. We find that GAMMA/sub s/ = (0.0189(11))..cap alpha../sup 2/GAMMA/sub LO/, where GAMMA/sub LO/ is the lowest-order orthopositronium decay rate. The relevance of our result to the experimental situation is discussed.
