The Limazo (from Lima and the Spanish suffix azo, meaning blow or violent), also known as the Febrerazo, was a police strike and citywide unrest that occurred in Lima, beginning on February 3, 1975. The unrest was allegedly instigated by the CIA and APRA, and was violently suppressed by the Peruvian Armed Forces by February 5.

The chaos and perceived lack of proper government response caused by the insurrection brought as a consequence the worsening of the political crisis faced by the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado, which would be deposed by a coup d'état by Francisco Morales Bermúdez in August 1975, ending the first phase of the revolutionary government.
