The Portuguese Ambassador to Peru is the official representative of the Portuguese Republic to the Government of Peru.
The Portuguese Embassy is located at 640 Pardo y Aliaga Avenue, Lima.
The current ambassador is Joaquim Alberto de Sousa Moreira de Lemos, who succeeded Afonso Henriques Abreu de Azeredo Malheiro in 2021.
Relations between Peru and what was then the Kingdom of Portugal were established on March 26, 1853 and elevated to embassy level in 1938 with the Portuguese Republic, having been maintained since. In contrast, Spain did not recognize Peru until after the Chincha Islands War, when relations were officially established in 1879.
The first representative of Portugal, António José Alves Júnior, arrived in Lima and presented his credentials on November 15, 1945.
