Abstract. In this paper we present a solution for the Kaluza–Klein magnetic monopole in a five-dimensional global monopole spacetime. This new solution is a generalization of the previous ones, obtained by Gross and Perry (1983 Nucl. Phys. B 226 29), containing a magnetic monopole in a Ricci-flat formalism, and by Banerjee et al (1996 Class. Quantum Grav. 13 3141) for a global monopole in a five-dimensional spacetime, setting the specific integration constant equal to zero. Also we analyse the classical motion of a massive charged test particle on this manifold and present the equation for the classical trajectory obeyed by this particle.
