Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Tikiri Banda Kehelgamuwa (born 10 December 1942) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer and manager of the Sri Lanka national cricket team, under whose tenure the Sri Lanka Test team recorded their first overseas Test victory in 1995. He was a player from 1967 to 1974, and is considered one of the best pacemen Sri Lanka has ever had.

In September 2018, Kehelgamuwa was one of 49 former Sri Lankan cricketers felicitated by Sri Lanka Cricket, to honour them for their services before Sri Lanka became a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
