The Sinhala Maha Sabha (Sinhalese Great Assembly) was a political party in Sri Lanka (Ceylon at the time) founded by Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike in 1937, in order to promote Sinhalese culture and community interests. Backing the United National Party from 1945, it left the UNP with Bandaranaike in 1951 to form the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
