The '''Peruvian Armed Forces''' ({{langx|es|Fuerzas Armadas del Perú}}) are the military services of [[Peru]], comprising independent Army, Navy and Air Force components. Their primary mission is to safeguard the country's [[independence]], [[sovereignty]] and territorial [[integrity]] against any threat.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Información institucional |url=https://www.gob.pe/institucion/ccffaa/institucional |access-date=2022-08-02 |website=www.gob.pe |language=es-pe}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-12-28 |title=Rol de las fuerzas armadas y del ejército frente a escenarios regionales y hemisféricos de seguridad {{!}} Centro de Estudios Estratégicos del Ejército del Perú |url=https://ceeep.mil.pe/2018/12/28/rol-de-las-fuerzas-armadas-y-del-ejercito-del-frente-a-escenarios-regionales-y-hemisfericos-de-seguridad/ |access-date=2022-08-02 |language=es-ES}}</ref> As a secondary mission they participate in economic and social development as well as in [[civil defence]] tasks.<ref>Ministerio de Defensa, ''Libro Blanco de la Defensa Nacional''.

The [[National Police of Peru]] is often classified as a part of the armed forces. Although in fact it has a different organisation and a wholly civil mission, its training and activities over more than two decades as an [[anti-terrorist]] force have produced markedly [[military]] characteristics, giving it the appearance of a virtual fourth military service with significant land, sea and air capabilities and approximately 140,000 personnel. The Peruvian armed forces report through the [[Ministry of Defence (Peru)|Ministry of Defence]], while the National Police of Peru report through the Ministry of Interior.
