Let G be a simple graph of order n and μ1,μ2,…,μn be the roots of its matching polynomial. The matching energy is defined as the sum ∑ni=1|μi|, which was introduced by Gutman and Wagner in 2012. In this paper, the graphs with the first five smallest matching energies among all bicyclic graphs for order n>5 are determined.
