He achieved the feat in the ongoing third day of the second Test against South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town.
"The first England fielder to take 5 catches in an innings," England Cricket tweeted.
Stokes took the catches of Zubayr Hamza (5), Faf du Plessis (1), Rassie van der Dussen (68), Dwaine Pretorius (4), and Anrich Nortje (4).
