Francisco Morales Bermúdez Cerruti (born October 4, 1921) is a Peruvian general and politician. Bermudez was President of Peru from August 1975 through July 1980.[1][2] His grandfather and all his original family were from the old Peruvian department of Tarapacá, which is now part of Chile. Unable to control the political and economic troubles that the nation faced, he was forced to return power to civilian rule, marking the end of the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces installed by a coup d'etat on 3 October 1968. At age 99, he is currently the oldest living former Peruvian president.

In 1939, he was accepted to the Escuela Militar de Chorrillos (Chorrillos Military School). After his graduation, he was an important member of the Centro de Altos Estudios Militares (CAEM).
