San Isidro is a district of the Lima Province in Peru, and one of the upscale districts that comprise the city of Lima.

Officially established on April 24, 1931, San Isidro has become a major financial quarter in recent years, as many banks and businesses left downtown Lima to set up their headquarters in modern office blocks.

San Isidro's current mayor is Antonio Meier. The district's postal code is 27.

Geography

The district has a total land area of 11.1 km². Its administrative center is located at 109 meters above sea level.
