'''Magdalena del Mar''', also known simply as '''Magdalena''', is a seaside [[Districts of Peru|district]] of [[Lima Province]] in [[Peru]] and one of the districts that comprise the city of [[Lima]]. Its current mayor is Francis Allison Oyague. Magdalena was officially established as a district on May 10, 1920.

For more than fifty years, the eastern border of the district has been disputed with neighboring San Isidro. A judge ordered the councils of both districts to deposit the money of the affected areas' taxpayers in the [[National Bank of Peru]] until this long-standing conflict is resolved.{{citation needed|date=November 2014}}
