San Juan de Lurigancho is a district in Lima, Peru, located in the area known as Cono Norte. With a current population that might have excceded a million people, it is the nation's most populated district. On the north, it is bordered by the districts of Carabayllo and San Antonio, which is in the Huarochirí Province. San Juan de Lurigancho is bordered by Comas, Independencia and Rímac on the west; and Lurigancho on the east. The Rímac River marks the district's border with downtown Lima and El Agustino on the south.

The main route that connects San Juan de Lurigancho with the rest of the Lima and Callao Metropolitan Area is the Próceres de la Independencia Avenue. The Puente Nuevo, or New Bridge (actually a combination of two bridges with traffic going in opposite directions), inaugurated in 1993, provided a long-needed direct link to El Agustino and points south and east. The most important urban areas in the district are Mangomarca, Zárate, Las Flores, Canto Grande and Bayovar. Also, one of the first urban areas in San Juan de Lurigancho is Caja de Agua; which is located at the entrance of the district. Caja de Agua is surrounding by San Cristobal and Santa Rosa hills from south to west and the Próceres de la Independencia Avenue separates Caja de Agua from Zárate.

Two of Peru's largest jails are located in San Juan de Lurigancho: Castro-Castro jail and San Pedro.
