Hasantha Fernando (born October 14, 1979 as Kandage Hasantha Ruwan Kumara Fernando) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

After just one first-class season, spent with Sebastianites Sports Club, he impressed the selectors after having made three centuries, and was an ideal player to be picked for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. He made his one-day debut against Bangladesh, where his bowling was impressive. He was gentle in pace, but showed variation in line, length and style.
