The Copa Bicentenario is a football competition in Peru played by the football clubs of the Liga 1 and Liga 2. It is organized by the Peruvian Football Federation and is played as a domestic football cup competition between clubs of the first and second division, featuring 36 teams. The winners qualify for the Copa Sudamericana and Supercopa Peruana. The tournament is played in between the Liga 1's Apertura and Clausura, around June to August. It is named after the bicentennial of Peruvian Independence.

The Copa Bicentenario was founded in 2019 as a plan to make the Peruvian football league system more competitive. Multiple previous attempts were made to create domestic cups such as the Torneo del Inca, but none were fully implemented, only being used for a few seasons. Along with the Copa Bicentenario, the Supercopa Peruana was created, a supercup between Liga 1 and Copa Bicentenario champions.

Sporting Cristal are the defending champions. Sporting Cristal and Atlético Grau are the two record holders, sharing one title.
