Peru–Qatar relations are the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Peru and the State of Qatar. Both nations are members of the World Trade Organitation, the Non-Aligned Movement and the United Nations.
History
Both countries established relations in 1989.{{sfn|Naïmi|2020|page=76}} In 2011, Peru opened an embassy in Doha, with Qatar opening an embassy in Lima in response the following year.{{sfn|Naïmi|2020|page=78}} Starting in 2013, a series of high-level visits took place, with two emirs of Qatar and one president of Peru visiting each other's countries. During these visits, seven bilateral treaties were signed by both countries' heads of state.{{sfn|Naïmi|2020|page=78–79}}
Commercial relations were negatively affected by the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, as transport routes became limited due to the closure of the Gulf Cooperation Council's airspace to Qatari trade (with the exception of Kuwait and Oman).{{sfn|Naïmi|2020|page=76–77}}
In Peru, a parliamentary league of Peru–Qatari friendship operates under the Congress of Peru. As of 2023, the Peruvian community in Qatar consists of 157 people.{{Cite web |url=https://www.congreso.gob.pe/Docs/ligasparlamentarias/2021-2022/files/plan_de_trabajo/plan_de_trabajo-peru-qatar.pdf |title=LIGA PARLAMENTARIA DE AMISTAD PERÚ - QATAR |website=Congress of Peru}}
