I’m looking for a Nikon or third-party macro lens for Nikon mount that can go beyond 1:1 magnification, similar to the Canon MP-E 65, which reaches up to 5:1. Does Nikon or anyone else make a native Nikon-mount lens like this?

Good question, but the answer is NO, not just for Nikon but for any system that is not Canon.
As per the comments you got, there are ways to get that magnification but the lens is much more convenient. I have used one and it is quite awesome.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Based on the answers provided, no—there isn’t a true Nikon-mount equivalent to the Canon MP-E 65, and the responders suggest Canon is essentially unique here among major systems.
That said, higher-than-1:1 magnification is still possible on Nikon using other macro methods, such as extension tubes, bellows, reversing techniques, or specialized setups. Those options can achieve similar magnification, but they’re generally less convenient and less integrated than a dedicated lens like the MP-E 65.
So if you want a native Nikon lens that directly matches the MP-E 65’s 1x–5x capability, the community answer is no.
