The 1935 season of the Peruvian Primera División (Primera A) was the 20th season of top-flight Peruvian football. A total of 5 teams competed in this league. The national champions were Sport Boys.[1][2][3] Matches were not completed; Sport Boys was declared champion, as no team could reach them. No team was relegated as First Division grew to 10 teams. From 1931 until 1942 the points system was W:3, D:2, L:1, walkover:0.

For this new championship some changes were made with respect to the previous tournament. To begin with, the participating teams were divided into two categories. Of the nine teams from the previous year, Alianza Lima, Universitario, Sucre, Sport Boys and Sportivo Tarapacá Ferrocarril remained in the main division, called Primera A, which ranked in the top five places. While Sporting Tabaco, Unión Carbone and Ciclista Lima became part of Primera B together with the Sport Progreso and Sportivo Melgar from the 1934 División Intermedia.

The whole tournament was played in two stadiums:
