I’m trying to find a replacement for a lens that came with my camera and haven’t been able to find one online. It’s a Nikkor AF-S 18mm - 55mm lens for the Nikon D5100

you do not need to have a lens that is specific to the 5100. Any Nikon lens AF-s DX VR will work on your camera. You can try Amazon, ebay (but be careful read the reviews) any of the photo stores will have a compatible lens. Your camera and my 5600 use the same lens setup. the Nikon 18-55 is a bundled lens with just about all D5000 series cameras. Hope it helps.

It looks like this lens is currently out of stock and backordered. Adorama and B & H Photo both have used versions of this lens for sale on their websites. They are both reputable online photo stores. If you prefer to buy new, you could choose another lens, or wait for them return to stock.

Did you inherit this camera? Are you new to digital single lens reflex photography? What are your budget constraints? Do you plan to upgrade anytime in the future? Most photographers would want to replace the original "kit" lens that came with the camera with something more flexible/useful. I have a d5100 and almost never use my 18-55 mm lens anymore. The answers to the above questions would help frame advice.

If your lens is broken and you need a new one you should look for some better lens. The 18-55 is ok but many other lenses are also good options and will work perfectly on your camera.
Here is a link to a few lenses you can get for similar price. Some of those have a much wider zoom range that will come in handy if this will be the only lens you have for your camera.
