A constitutional referendum was held in Peru on 9 December 2018, alongside the second round of gubernatorial elections. Proposed by President Martín Vizcarra, the referendum aimed to tackle widespread political corruption in the country. The referendum sought public approval for four constitutional reforms: restructuring the National Council of the Magistracy (later renamed the National Board of Justice), regulating political party financing, prohibiting the immediate re-election of parliamentarians, and reinstating a bicameral parliament.

Of the four proposals, three were approved by an overwhelming majority of voters. These included the reforms concerning the National Board of Justice, political party financing, and parliamentary re-election. However, the proposal to reintroduce bicamerality was decisively rejected, largely due to modifications made by Congress that weakened presidential powers, leading Vizcarra to withdraw his support for the measure.
