Club Deportivo Garcilaso, most commonly known as Deportivo Garcilaso, or El Garci, is a Peruvian professional football club, based in the city of Cusco. Founded in 1957, the club competes in the Peruvian Primera División, after being promoted by winning the 2022 Copa Perú.

Since its appearance it has maintained a strong rivalry with Cienciano, made up of students from the National College of Sciences. This rivalry between both educational institutions transcended football, giving rise to the Cusco Classic. The club was invited to participate in the Copa Presidente de la República in 1970. Since then, the club participated in the Copa Perú until 2023, where they got promoted to the Liga 1 after winning the tournament in 2022.

The club plays their home games at Estadio Garcilaso, which they share with city rivals Cienciano and Cusco FC. With a capacity of 45,056, the Estadio Garcilaso is the largest stadium in Cusco and has hosted numerous sporting events, most notably the 2004 Copa América which was held in Peru.
