Peru competed at the2012 Summer Olympics inLondon, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's seventeenth appearance at the Olympics, having only missed the1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki.

The Comité Olímpico Peruano sent a total of 16 athletes, 9 men and 7 women, to compete in 9 sports, tying its record withBarcelona in 1992. Three athletes had competed in Beijing, including taekwondo jinPeter López, who narrowly missed out on a medal in Beijing in the bronze medal match. Marathon runnerGladys Tejeda, who competed at her first Olympics, became the nation's first female flag bearer at the opening ceremony since 2000. Peru, however, failed to win a single Olympic medal, continuing a drought that began at the1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, whereJuan Giha won the silver for skeet shooting.
