A constitutional referendum was held in Peru on 18 June 1939. The proposed changes were approved by 88% of voters. Following the referendum, Manuel Prado Ugarteche was elected President on 4 December.

On 6 August 1945 the Congress passed a Law 10334, which declared the amendments unconstitutional, as they were not passed in line with Article 236 of the 1933 constitution.
