La Victoria is a district of Lima, Peru. Located to the south of the city's historic centre, it was created as a working class district in 1920, although its southern sectors later took on a residential and commercial character. From the administrative point of view of the Catholic Church in Peru, it forms part of the Archdiocese of Lima's Episcopal Vicariate V.
The current mayor of La Victoria is Rubén Dioscorides Andrés Cano Altez.
