Croatian Peruvians (Croatian: Peruanski Hrvati) are Peruvians of Croatian descent. Mostly settled in the Peruvian capital, Lima, Croatian Peruvians have scattered throughout the vast metropolis, but are known to have established a strong community in the Miraflores District, where strong ties to the ethnic group still remain. Due to intermarriage, most Croatian Peruvians are of mixed ancestry. Actual conversations in Croatian are common only within first generation immigrants. Although Croatian speech in Peru has been generally lost.

Most Croatian Peruvians are Roman Catholic and either completely Croat or of mixed European origin.

It is estimated that there are between 250.000 to 300.000 Croatian Peruvians (with Croatian ancestor).
