The '''Peruvian Navy''' ({{langx|es|link=no|'''Marina de Guerra del Perú'''}}, abbreviated '''MGP'''){{efn|Alternatively the '''''Armada Peruana''''' (abbreviated '''AP''')}} is the branch of the [[Peru]]vian [[Military of Peru|Armed Forces]] tasked with surveillance, patrol and defense on lakes, rivers and the Pacific Ocean up to {{convert|200|nmi}} from the Peruvian [[littoral]]. Additional missions include assistance in safeguarding internal security, conducting [[emergency management|disaster relief]] operations and participating in international [[peacekeeping]] operations.

The ''Marina de Guerra del Perú'' celebrates the anniversary of its creation in 1821 on October 8 and also commemorates the decisive [[Battle of Angamos]], the final part of the naval campaign of the [[War of the Pacific]] between Peru and Chile at the end of 1879.
