Yauyos–Chincha Quechua or Yauyos Quechua is a language cluster of Quechua, spoken in the Yauyos and Chincha districts of Peru. There are numerous dialects: in Yauyos, San Pedro de Huacarpana, Apurí, Madean-Viñac (Madeán), Azángaro-Huangáscar-Chocos (Huangáscar), Cacra-Hongos, Tomás-Alis (Alis), Huancaya-Vitis, Laraos, with similar diversity in Chincha.

The Tana-Lincha (Lincha) dialect included by Ethnologue 16, however, is part of Cajamarca-Lambayeque Quechua.[2]
