The results of the study of phase composition, electrophysical (resistivity, thermal coefficient of resistance), magnetoresistivity (giant magnetoresistance) and magnetic (magnetization) properties of thin films (up to 100 nm) of high-entropy alloys based on Al, Cu, Ni, Fe and Co are presented. It was established that after the formation of samples by layered deposition on diffraction pattern, lines from two phases with a fcc lattice and traces of the bcc phase are fixed. After homogenization by thermal annealing of the samples, there remains one fcc phase s.s. HEA (а = 0.360-0.365 nm) and traces of the bcc phase (most likely s.s. α-Fe(Cr)), that is, in fact, single-phase. It was received that the dependence of the magnetoresistance versus induction has all the features of the GMR with amplitude 0.15-0.20 %. Resistivity and thermal coefficient of resistance have relatively large values  ρ ∼ 10 – 7 Ohm.m and β ∼ 10 – 3 К – 1. Within the size effect models in the temperature coefficient of resistance, the mean free path of electrons (λ =  73-85 nm) is calculated. The field and temperature dependences of the magnetization at the magnetic field induction B = 0-5 T (T = 2 and 300 K) at the conditions field of cooling (FC) and cooling without a magnetic field (ZFC) in the temperatures range from 2 to 400 K are presented.
