The 1930 Peruvian coup d'état or Arequipa rebellion took place on August 22–27 of 1930, headed by commander Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro in Arequipa, although with the support of Manuel María Ponce Brousset's force in Lima, against President Augusto B. Leguía.

Sánchez Cerro, who, through a manifesto to the nation, revolted the garrison of Arequipa against the government of Augusto B. Leguía. The military rebellion spread through southern Peru, extending to the country's capital, Lima, where the city's garrison joined the coup. The result of the coup was successful for Sánchez Cerro, who arrived in Lima on August 25 to take the reins of the country, while Leguía resigned from the Presidency and was imprisoned in the city's penitentiary.
