The Plaza de toros de Acho is a bullring found in Lima, Peru whose construction began on 30 Jan 1766. It is the most important of the 56 official bullrings in the country.

The plaza is classified as a historic monument and is located beside the historical center in the Rímac District. It has a seating capacity of 13,000. It was constructed of classic materials, adobe and wood, and it has survived the various earthquakes that have rocked Lima over the centuries since its construction.

Each year, the plaza showcases the most celebrated bullfighters of the world. Additionally, the annual bullfighting fair Señor de los Milagros is held at the plaza on Sundays through October and parts of November. The best bullfighter of the year is awarded the Escapulario de Oro (Golden Scapular).

The plaza is the oldest to be found in the Americas and the second-oldest in the world after La Maestranza in Spain (not counting the Roman Empire-era Arles Amphitheatre in France, which is still in use). Technically, though the Peruvian plaza's construction began after its Spanish counterpart, it was the first to actually reach completion. Acho was rebuilt in 1946.
