The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Venezuela to the Republic of Peru is the official representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the Republic of Peru.

Relations between both countries were established in 1853,[2] and relations have been continued since, although relations have twice been frozen (but never severed):[3] in 2001, over a dispute regarding the extradition of Vladimiro Montesinos,[4] and in 2017, when Peru recalled its ambassador and expelled its Venezuelan counterpart.[5]
