The 1971 Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) insurrection (also known as the 1971 Revolt) was the first of two unsuccessful armed revolts conducted by the communist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) against the socialist United Front Government of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) under Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike. The revolt began on 5 April 1971, and lasted until June of that year. The insurgents held towns and rural areas for several weeks, until the regions were recaptured by the armed forces, following strong support from friendly nations that sent men and material. Although this first attempt to seize power was quickly crushed by force, in 1987 the JVP launched a low intensity insurgency in the island's southern, central and western regions that lasted several years.

The insurrection formally began in 1971, but the first attacks took place in 1970. The JVP fought the right-wing United National Party (UNP) before launching an island-wide, militant opposition to the newly elected, pro-socialist United Front government. The government's socialist background drew the attention of many states which needed to support it. The Soviet Union sent 60 air-force troops; India guarded the forts, stopping North Korean vessels and a Chinese freighter which raided the harbors. Although China provided diplomatic aid, it was accused of supporting the JVP; Chinese diplomats allegedly contacted North Korea, which supplied weapons and ammunition to the JVP.
- La révolte ceylanaise de 1971 (également connue sous le nom d'Insurrection de 1971) fut la première révolte armée infructueuse menée par le mouvement communiste Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) contre le (aujourd'hui Sri Lanka) sous le Premier ministre Sirimavo Bandaranaike. La révolte commença le 5 avril 1971 et dura jusqu'en juin de la même année. Les insurgés furent en mesure de capturer et de tenir plusieurs villes et zones rurales pendant plusieurs semaines jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient reprises par les forces armées. Même si sa première tentative de prise de pouvoir en 1971 fut rapidement repoussée par la force, les insurgés se lancèrent dans une autre insurrection en 1987. Cette dernière fut beaucoup plus suivie dans les régions du sud, du centre et de l'ouest du pays.
