The Frecuencia Latina bombing was a terrorist attack in Lima, Peru on 5 June 1992. It was perpetrated by the terrorist organization Shining Path, which detonated a truck bomb at the primary headquarters of television channel Frecuencia 2 in Lima's Jesús María district.

The truck was brought to the aforementioned television station and was detonated. The facilities of the television station were destroyed and had to be reconstructed. The bomb also destroyed several nearby vehicles and a school of architecture across the street from the station.
