Peru competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, which were held from 14 May to 28 October 1900. This edition of the games would be the first appearance for Peru at any of the Olympic Games. The athlete delegation consisted of one singular athlete, fencer Carlos de Candamo.
de Candamo first competed in the men's foil competition and advanced up to the quarterfinals of the event before he was relegated to a repechage round. In the round, he did not place high enough and did not advance to the semifinals. He then competed in the men's épée but was eliminated in the first round.
