श्रीलङ्काका जिल्लाहरू

जिल्लाहरू (; ) श्रीलङ्काको दोस्रो स्तरको प्रशासनिक विभाजनहरू हुन्। श्रीलङ्कामा २५ जिल्लाहरू व्यवस्थित छन्। प्रत्येक जिल्ला एक जिल्ला सचिव अन्तर्गत प्रशासित हुन्छ, जसलाई केन्द्र सरकारले नियुक्त गरेको हुन्छ। जिल्ला सचिवालयको मुख्य कार्यमा केन्द्र सरकार र प्रशासनिक सचिवालयको सञ्चार र गतिविधिलाई समन्वय गर्ने समावेश छ। 

 इतिहास 
अनुराधापुरा राज्यको समयमा देशलाई धेरै प्रशासनिक एकाइहरूमा विभाजन गरिएको थियो। राज्यलाई तीन प्रान्तमा विभाजन गरिएको थियो; राजरता, रुहुना र मलाया रात। यिनीहरूलाई थप साना एकाइहरूमा विभाजन गरिएको थियो जसलाई राटा भनिन्छ।

कालान्तरमा प्रदेश सङ्ख्या बढे पनि दोस्रो तहको प्रशासनिक विभाजन भने यथावत नै रह्यो। तर, देश अन्ततः एक भन्दा बढी राज्यमा विभाजित भएपछि र विदेशी औपनिवेशिक मिसनहरू अवतरण र देशका केही भागहरू आफ्नो नियन्त्रणमा लिएपछि यो संरचना परिवर्तन हुन थाल्यो। जाफना राज्यमा चारवटा प्रान्तसहितको यस्तै प्रशासनिक संरचना भएको देखिन्छ।

सबैभन्दा नयाँ जिल्ला फेब्रुअरी १९८४ मा किलिनोच्ची जिल्ला थियो, र वर्तमान संविधानले श्रीलङ्काको क्षेत्र २५ प्रशासनिक जिल्लाहरू मिलेर बनेको छ। यी जिल्लाहरूलाई श्रीलङ्काको संसदको प्रस्तावद्वारा उपविभाजित वा एकीकरण गर्न सकिन्छ।
