The Ambassador of Italy in Peru (Spanish: Embajador de Italia en Lima) is the head of the diplomatic mission of the Italian Republic in the Republic of Peru.

Both countries formally established bilateral relations on 23 December 1874,[1] with Peru having previously established relations with the predecessor states, such as the Holy See in 1852 before the unification of Italy.[2] Today, around 500,000–900,000 Peruvians of Italian descent live in the South American country, most notably in Lima.
