To determine the sign of \(\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{4}\right)\) and the quadrant in which it lies, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the angle:** \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\) radians is equivalent to \(225^\circ\).

2. **Determine the quadrant:** Angles between \(180^\circ\) and \(270^\circ\) (or between \(\pi\) and \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\) radians) lie in the third quadrant. Therefore, \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\) is in the third quadrant.

3. **Determine the sign of \(\sin\) in the third quadrant:** In the third quadrant, the sine function is negative.

Thus, \(\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{4}\right)\) is **negative**, and it lies in the **third quadrant**.
