Yaru Quechua is a dialect cluster of Quechua, spoken in the Peruvian province of Pasco and neighboring areas in northern Junín and Lima department.

Pacaraos Quechua has traditionally been assigned to Quechua II, but Adelaar argues that this is due to retained features and not a genealogical relationship.
