Modern Peru (Spanish: Perú Moderno), is a political party in Peru. Founded and led by businessman Wilson Aragón Ponce, the party gained notoriety as its executive committee is entirely composed of the founder's family.
Upon confirming partisan registration at the National Jury of Elections in 2024, the party announced the affiliation of Ajegroup businessman Carlos Añaños, signaling a potential presidential run at the 2026 general election. Nevertheless, Añaños rescinded his presidential aspirations following discrepancies with the party leader Aragón on congressional candidate fielding. Añaños subsequently left the party.
Among its members running for the party's presidential nomination for 2026 are incumbent congressman Carlos Anderson, former minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho, and architect Pedro Guevara.

Five days after the resignation letter of businessman Carlos Añaños was made known, a series of disaffiliations began to be registered in the Peru Moderno party led by Wilson Aragon. While some parties have started to open the doors to Añaños' faction, others prefer to hold on to the option of Congress approving an extension of the affiliation period in order to make a more thoughtful decision with a view to the 2026 general elections.
