Peru is home to a depressingly long list of endangered animal species. The following list highlights all those species, 44 of which are considered critically endangered and 88 endangered (more than 60 of which are frog and toad species).

The list itself is based on current data (2014) from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Some notes have been added to further explain certain species, particularly those that do not have a self-explanatory common name listed on the Red List (scientific name only).
