The Alliance for the Progress of Peru (Spanish: Alianza para el Progreso del Perú) was an electoral alliance in Peru formed for the 2016 general election, dominated by the eponymous party Alliance for Progress and led by former Governor of La Libertad César Acuña Peralta.

• Alliance for Progress (Alianza para el Progreso, APP), conservative, led by César Acuña
• National Restoration (Restauración Nacional, RN), evangelist, led by Humberto Lay
• We Are Peru (Somos Perú, SP), Christian democratic, led by Fernando Andrade

In the 2011 general election, the Alliance for Progress and National Restoration was part of the Alliance for the Great Change (Alianza por el Gran Cambio) while We Are Peru was part of the Possible Peru Alliance (Alianza Perú Posible).
