The Catholic Church in Peru is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope, the curia in Rome, and the Peruvian Episcopal Conference.

Catholics compose an estimated 74% of Peru's population,[1] according to the 2017 census.[2] In 2020, there were over 3,000 priests and over 9,000 nuns serving across 1,670 parishes;[3] the church also ran 136 hospitals and homes for the old and infirm.

Peru has produced two famous saints, St. Rose of Lima and St. Martin de Porres, as well as two Blesseds,  Ana de los Ángeles (Ana Monteagudo Ponce de León) and Antonia Luzmila Rivas López (María Agustina).[4]

In 2023, the Cardinal of Peru was Pedro Barreto.[5]
