The extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of Peru in the People's Republic of China is the official representative of the Republic of Peru to the Government of the People's Republic of China.
The ambassador to China was also accredited to Japan until 1971, when Peru recognized the PRC, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from the establishment of relations in 1988{{Cite web |url=http://www.rree.gob.pe/politicaexterior/Paginas/Relaciones-Bilaterales-Peru-Republica-Democratica-Corea.aspx |title=Relaciones Bilaterales Perú - República Popular Democrática de Corea |website=Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010064025/http://www.rree.gob.pe/politicaexterior/Paginas/Relaciones-Bilaterales-Peru-Republica-Democratica-Corea.aspx |archive-date=2016-10-10}} until 2017, when Peru declared the Korean ambassador as a persona non grata and gave him 5 days to leave the country in response to the country's missile launches earlier that month.{{Cite news |title=Perú expulsa al embajador de Corea del Norte |url=https://www.europapress.es/internacional/noticia-peru-expulsa-embajador-corea-norte-20170911232805.html |date=2017-09-11 |work=Europa Press}}
Peru established relations with the Chinese Empire with the signing of a treaty in Tianjin on June 26, 1874.{{Cite news |title=Breve historia de las relaciones sino-peruanas |url=http://www.chinatoday.com.cn/hoy/hoy20034/05.htm |last=Chong Geng |first=Andrés Humberto |work=China Today |date=April 2003}}{{Cite journal |title=La inmigración china en el Perú (1850-1890) |journal=Boletín de la Sociedad Peruana de Medicina Interna |url=https://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/bvrevistas/spmi/v05n3/inmigración.htm |issue=3 |volume=5 |year=1992}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.rree.gob.pe/politicaexterior/Paginas/Relaciones-Bilaterales-Peru-Republica-Popular-China.aspx |title=Relaciones Bilaterales Perú - República Popular China |website=Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201113726/http://www.rree.gob.pe/politicaexterior/Paginas/Relaciones-Bilaterales-Peru-Republica-Popular-China.aspx |archive-date=2016-12-01}} Peru's first Resident Ambassador was named the next year, assuming his duties on May 20, 1878, while the Chinese ambassador would only reach Peru in 1883, after the War of the Pacific.
After the establishment of the Republic of China, Peru maintained its relations with the new Kuomintang government. In 1944, the diplomatic status of the two countries was raised to embassy level, and high-level officials of the two countries exchanged frequent visits in the 1950s and 1960s.{{Cite web |url=https://www.taiwanembassy.org/pe/post/1339.html |title=駐處與駐地關係 |website=Portal of Republic of China (Taiwan) Diplomatic Missions |trans-title=Residency and Resident Relations [between the Republic of China and Peru]}}
