The Intendancy of Huamanga (Spanish: Intendencia de Huamanga, formerly Guamanga), also known informally as Huamanga Province (Spanish: Provincia de Huamanga (Guamanga)), was one of the territorial divisions of the Viceroyalty of Peru, ruled from the city of Guamanga and under the jurisdiction of the Bishopric of Huamanga. It was created in 1784 and was the site of the Battle of Ayacucho, a decisive moment in the Peruvian War of Independence that ended the viceroyalty's existence. It was ultimately replaced by the Department of Ayacucho in 1825.
