The 1979 Copa Perú season (), the promotion tournament of Peruvian football.
In this tournament, after many qualification rounds, each one of the 24 departments in which Peru is politically divided qualified a team. Those teams, plus the team relegated from First Division on the last year, enter in two more rounds and finally 6 of them qualify for the Final round, staged in Lima (the capital).
The champion was promoted to 1980 Torneo Descentralizado.

The winner of this playoff tie would be awarded the departmental championship title for that season.
