The ambassador of Switzerland to Peru is an officer of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the head of the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation to the Republic of Peru. The position has the rank and status of an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. From 1946 to 1962, the ambassador was concurrently accredited to Bolivia.[1]

Both countries established relations in 1884, and relations have been maintained since.[2] A Swiss consulate opened in Lima in 1884, being transformed into a consulate general in 1931, before being elevated to the rank of legation in 1946 and embassy in 1957. Peru also has an embassy in Bern.

During World War II, Switzerland represented Peru in Germany, Italy and France, at the same time representing those of the latter in Peru.[3][4][5]
