The Tacna insurrection of 1811 was an autonomist movement that occurred in Tacna in June 1811 that proclaimed the freedom of Peru against the Spanish government of Viceroy José Fernando de Abascal y Sousa, with Tacna being the first and the only city that rose in 1811, anticipating the advance of the Argentine armies in Upper Peru.
