The MI5(g), or the MI5 G section, was a branch of MI5 that was formed during World War I to address the wartime espionage operation by the Indian revolutionary movement in Europe.
 The department arose by renaming the MO5(g), which was renamed MI5(g) in 1916.
 The MI5 itself, working under Vernon Kell, had a number of India experts at the beginning of the war.
 In September 1916, a special section, the MI5(d), section was formed to operate counter-espionage networks throughout the British Empire.
 Another subsection, the MI5(b), was formed in January 1917 to deal specifically with Indians and "other oriental races".
 The MI5(g) had 27 officers in its staff, eight of whom had served in India before the war.
 Among them were ex-Indian civil servants including Robert Nathan and H. L. Stephenson.
 The main emphasis of this counter-espionage network was to prevent the subversion of Indian troops in the European theatre.
 The organisation, especially under Nathan, worked closely with the Special Branch of the Scotland Yard in Britain and with the Indian Political Intelligence Office headed by John Wallinger, which operated a network of spies in neutral Switzerland which a number of the Indian revolutionaries and members of the Berlin Committee used as a base.
