Jirón Moquegua is a major street in the Damero de Pizarro, located in the historic centre of Lima, Peru.

The road that today constitutes the street was laid by Francisco Pizarro when he founded the city of Lima on January 18, 1535.

Prior to this renaming, each block (cuadra) had a unique name: During the 1980s, the street was the birthplace of Bakom, a martial art based on different techniques from Lima's street-fighting history.

[8] On the morning of August 22, 1991, three car bombs were detonated by members of the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, a terrorist organisation, who were distributed into three groups.

A street vendor, who witnessed the action, entered the Dos de Mayo school alerting the students of the imminent attack, with the bombs exploding during their evacuation.
