The '''regions''' ({{lang-es|regiones}}) o Peru are the first-level [[admeenistrative subdiveesions]] o [[Peru]]. Syne its [[Peruvian War o Independence|1821 unthirldom]], Peru haed been dividit intae '''[[depairtment (subnaitional entity)|depairtments]]''' ({{lang-es|departamentos}}) but facit the problem o an increasin centralization o poleetical an economic pouer in its caipital, [[Lima]]. Efter several unsuccessful decentralization attempts, the legal figur o ''region'' became offeecial an regional govrenments wur electit tae manage the depairtments on 20 November 2002 till thair planned fusion intae real regions.

Unner the new arrangement, the umwhile [[Depairtments o Peru|24 depairtments]] plus the [[Callao]] Province haes acome regional circumscriptions. The [[Lima Province|province o Lima]] haes been excludit frae this process an daes no form pairt o ony region. Unlik the earlier depairtments, regions hae an electit govrenment an hae a wide array o responsibilities athin thair jurisdiction. Unner the 2002 Organic Law o Regional Govrenments ({{lang-es|Ley Orgánica de Gobiernos Regionales}}), thare is an ongoin process o transfer o functions frae the central govrenment tae the regions. A 2005 referendum for the merger o several depairtments failed tae get the necessary electoral support.

Peruvian regions an depairtments are subdividit in [[Provinces o Peru|provinces]] an [[Destricts o Peru|diestricts]].
