- Sri Lankan place name etymology is characterized by the linguistic and ethnic diversity of the island of Sri Lanka through the ages and the position of the country in the centre of ancient and medieval sea trade routes. While typical Sri Lankan placenames of Sinhalese origin vastly dominate, toponyms which stem from Tamil, Dutch, English, Portuguese and Arabic also exist. In the past, the many composite or hybrid place names and the juxtaposition of Sinhala and Tamil placenames reflected the coexistence of people of both language groups. Today, however, toponyms and their etymologies are a source of heated political debate in the country as part of the political struggles between the majority Sinhalese and minority Sri Lankan Tamils.

- Etimologi nama tempat di Sri Lanka dicirikan oleh keberagaman linguistik dan etnis pulau Sri Lanka selama berabad-abad dan posisi negara di pusat rute perdagangan. Sementara ciri khas Sri Lanka dari asal Sinhala sangat mendominasi, toponim yang berasal dari Tamil, Belanda, Inggris, Portugis dan Arab juga ada. Di masa lalu, banyak nama tempat gabungan atau hibrida dan penjajaran nama-nama tempat Sinhala dan Tamil mencerminkan koeksistensi orang-orang dari kedua kelompok bahasa. Namun, dewasa ini, toponim dan etimologi mereka adalah sumber perdebatan politik yang memanas di negara itu sebagai bagian dari perjuangan politik antara mayoritas etnis Sinhala dan minoritas Sri Lanka Tamil.
