The flag of Peru (Spanish: Bandera del Perú) was created by José de San Martín and adopted by the government of Peru in 1825. It is a simple triband with red outer bands and a single white middle band. Depending on its use, it may be defaced with different emblems, and has different names.

The national or civil flag (bandera nacional) is used by anyone. It has no additions to the common form. The national ensign or state flag (pabellón nacional) used by state institutions, is defaced with the seal of Peru. A form of this flag, the national standard (estandarte nacional) is used on walls. The war flag (bandera de guerra), similar to the state flag, is defaced with the national emblem. It is flown by the Peruvian military and national police, and is typically inscribed with the service, name and number of the unit flying it.
