Pueblo Libre (Spanish for "free village" or "free nation"), formerly known as La Magdalena and commonly known as Old Magdalena (Spanish: Magdalena Vieja) to differentiate it from Magdalena del Mar District, is a district of Lima Province in Peru.

Created by Law 9162 of November 5, 1940,[2] it is a middle-class residential district and has the most parks in Lima, also housing several branches of banks, local private universities and major corporations. Its name was granted by José de San Martín on April 10, 1822, as a recognition of the patriotism shown by its inhabitants during the Peruvian War of Independence.
