The 1948 Peruvian coup d'état took place on October 27, 1948, headed by general Manuel A. Odría in Arequipa, referred to by him as the "Restorative Revolution" (Spanish: Revolución Restauradora), against the government of José Luis Bustamante y Rivero. Odría seized power.

The military coup gave way to a period of almost twenty months in which the deposed president was prosecuted, a state of emergency was declared throughout the country, and the national congress was dissolved.
