The 1932 Trujillo uprising (Spanish: Sublevación de Trujillo) was an armed revolt carried out by members of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) against the government of Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro that took place in the northern Peruvian city of Trujillo in July 1932.
It started with an uprising led by Manuel "Búfalo" Barreto Risco and Agustín Haya de la Torre that took over the Ricardo O'Donovan Barracks on July 7, eventually spreading citywide until its suppression by the Peruvian Armed Forces by July 10, with the last reprisals taking place on July 27. In Aprista historiography, it forms part of the political group's "year of brutality" and of the "civil war of 1932–1933" due to the period's armed nature.
