We present classical solutions for a D5 and NS5-branes in a pp-wave background. The worldvolume coordinates for these configurations lie along a six dimensional pp-wave configuration obtained from $AdS_3 \times S_3$ in a Penrose limit. One in addition has nontrivial R-R 3-form field strength as well as a dilaton background. We also present the construction of the above D5-brane solution from the point of view of the Green-Schwarz worldsheet string theory and discuss its low lying spectrum
