El señorío de los incas es la segunda parte de la Crónica del Perú, de Pedro Cieza de León, y trata sobre la historia de los Incas y las dinastías del Antiguo Perú. Fue descubierta en la Biblioteca de El Escorial por el historiador peruano Manuel Gonzalez de La Rosa, quien preparo una edicion para publicarla en Londres, en 1873. Esta no vio la luz por razones economicas.En 1880, Marcos Jimenez de la Espada, publico finalmente la obra, con el titulo de Segunda parte de la cronica del Peru, que trata del señorio de los incas yupanquis y de sus grandes hechos y gobernacion (actualmente conocida como El Señorio de los Incas).El señorio de los Incas narra los sucesos historicos que acontecieron durante el reinado de los reyes incas (ingas yupangues o incas yupanquis), que el autor recogio en boca de los mismos habitantes del imperio incaico, entre nobles u orejones, amautas o maestros, quipucamayocs y curacas.Se trata, en rigor, de la primera historia integral del Tahuantinsuyo, ya que los cronistas que precedieron a Cieza se habian limitado a recoger escasos y dispersos datos sobre los incas, concentrandose mas que nada en los hechos de los primeros conquistadores españoles.

Relata tambien la leyenda de Wiracocha (Ticiviracoche) y de los hermanos Ayar; y la fundacion del Cuzco por Manco Capac. Luego se extiende en la historia de los reyes incas: Mango Capa, Sinche Roca Inga, Lloque Yupangue, Mayta Capa, Capa Yupangue, Inga Roca Inga, Inga Yupangue, Viracocha Inga, Inga Urco, Inga Yupangue, Topa Inga Yupangue, Guaynacapa, Guascar y Atabalipa.
