The Peruvian Athletics Sport Federation ({{langx|es|Federación Deportiva Peruana de Atletismo}}, FDPA) is the governing body for the sport of athletics in Peru.
History
FDPA was founded on November 22, 1918 as Federación Atlética Peruana. First president was Alfredo Benavides Canseco.{{cite web |title =REGLAMENTO TÉCNICO - BASES Y NORMATIVAS PARA EL AÑO 2012 - DEPARTAMENTO TÉCNICO|url = http://www.fepeatle.com/reglamento.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080130112748/http://www.fepeatle.com/reglamento.html|url-status = usurped|archive-date = January 30, 2008|publisher = FEDERACIÓN PERUANA DE ATLETISMO|language = es|access-date = September 29, 2012}}{{cite web |last =darwincho77|title = Atletismo Peru - HISTORIA DEL ATLETISMO EN EL PERÚ|url = https://www.scribd.com/doc/54562436/Atletismo-Peru|language = es|access-date = September 29, 2012}}{{cite web |last =victorhugo|title = HISTORIA DEL ATLETISMO PERUANO ( INICIOS ) |url = http://decaperu.blogspot.de/2006/08/historia-del-atletismo-peruano-inicios.html|language = es|access-date = September 29, 2012}} It joined CONSUDATLE in 1925, and Peru's first international appearance was at the IV South American Championships in Montevideo, Uruguay. Later that year, the Peruvian Olympic Committee (Comité Olímpico Peruano) installed a commission for the integration of the sport of athletics. The process resulted in the foundation of the Federación Peruana de Atletismo on February 15, 1927, with president Pedro Villanueva.
After the resignation of Enrique Cusicanqui in 2011, former vice-president Jorge Julián came into office.{{cite web |date = February 12, 2011|title =Nueva Era En La Federación Peruana de Atletismo Con Jorge Julián|url = http://www.atletismoperuano.com/nacionales/nueva-era-en-la-federacion-peruana-de-atletismo-con-jorge-julian/|archive-url = https://archive.today/20130117084410/http://www.atletismoperuano.com/nacionales/nueva-era-en-la-federacion-peruana-de-atletismo-con-jorge-julian/|url-status = dead|archive-date = January 17, 2013|publisher = atletismoperuano.com|language = es|access-date = September 29, 2012}}{{cite web |date = February 24, 2011|title = Una Nueva Era En La Federación Peruana de Atletismo Con Jorge Julián|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r1Kh96bFag|publisher = YouTube|language = es|access-date = January 21, 2014}} In December 2012, Miguel Ignacio Mendo was elected president for the period 2013–2016.{{cite web |date = December 17, 2012|title = Nueva Era Del Atletismo Con Miguel Ignacio Mendo Elegido Como Presidente De La Federación Peruana|url = http://www.atletismoperuano.com/?p=10506|publisher = atletismoperuano.com |language = es|access-date = January 8, 2013}}{{cite web |date = December 15, 2012|title = COMITÉ ELECTORAL - ELECCIONES 15 DE DICIEMBRE DEL 2012 - CREDENCIAL|url = http://www.atletismoperuano.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/comite-electoral-de-las-elecciones-electores-fdpa.doc|publisher = atletismoperuano.com |language = es|access-date = January 8, 2013}} However, the result was not recognized, and a new election was scheduled,{{cite web |date = May 29, 2013|title = Presidente del Grupo de Trabajo de la Federación Deportiva Peruana de Atletismo (FDPA) confirmó la realización de nueva elección - En 45 días habrá nuevo presidente |url = http://www.laprimeraperu.pe/online/deportes/en-45-dias-habra-nuevo-presidente_140140.html|publisher = La Primera, Lima|language = es|access-date = January 20, 2014}} where ex-sprinter Óscar Fernández was nominated and confirmed as new president.{{cite web |title = OSCAR FERNÁNDEZ ES NUEVO PRESIDENTE DE LA FEDERACIÓN DEPORTIVA PERUANA DE ATLETISMO|url = http://www.ipd.gob.pe/index.php/Federaciones/oscar-fernandez-es-nuevo-presidente-de-la-federacion-deportiva-peruana-de-atletismo.html|publisher =Instituto Peruano del Deporte|language = es|access-date = January 20, 2014}}{{cite web |last =Soto|first =Betty|date = December 24, 2013|title = SUNARP inscribe a FPA presidida por Oscar Fernandez|url = http://www.atletismoperuano.com/?p=13867|publisher = Atletismo Peruano|language = es|access-date = January 20, 2014}}
