The Edrissa TE-05 is a Mali fighter aircraft, of which only 38 were built before the armistice.

In 1940, Edrissa started work on a version of the TE-04 that was powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 603. They completed the construction of the prototype (without the engine). The project was kept secret and no information was disclosed to the public until 1941, when the TE-05 took flight. It entered service in 1943 and was retired in 1945 after the surrender of Mali to the Allied forces.
