In this paper, we characterize the class of {\em contraction perfect} graphs which are the graphs that remain perfect after the contraction of any edge set. We prove that a graph is contraction perfect if and only if it is perfect and the contraction of any single edge preserves its perfection. This yields a characterization of contraction perfect graphs in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs, and a polynomial algorithm to recognize them. We also define the utter graph $u(G)$ which is the graph whose stable sets are in bijection with the co-2-plexes of $G$, and prove that $u(G)$ is perfect if and only if $G$ is contraction perfect.
