The Department of Huaylas (Spanish: Departamento de Huaylas) was a short-lived department of the Protectorate of Peru that existed from 1821 to 1823, when it was annexed into the Department of Huánuco. It was later reestablished in 1835 and incorporated as a department of the Peru–Bolivian Confederation, being dissolved in 1839 along with the state.
