Pedro Avilés Pérez was a pioneer drug lord in the Mexican state of Sinaloa in the late 1960s. He is considered to be the first generation of major Mexican drug smugglers of marijuana. He also pioneered the use of aircraft to smuggle drugs to the United States.

Corruption of state officials was brokered by Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, an emerging capo who had spent time in Sinaloa working as a Sinaloan State Police trooper and serving as body guard to Leopold Sánchez Celis, governor of Sinaloa.

The 2001 movie La Clave 7 (Code 7) is the story of the effort by the Mexican Army to bring down Pedro Avilés Pérez, directed and played by actor Jorge Reynoso.
