Thilan Thushara (full name Magina Thilan Thushara Mirando; born March 1, 1981 in Balapitiya) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a left-arm medium-fast bowler.

Thushara made his first-class debut in 1998-99. After a spell in Sri Lanka's premier fast-bowling academy, he impressed the selectors, and was included in the Test squad for the tour against South Africa. Despite having not made either Test or one-day squads against England, he is by no means an incompetent batsman, as he currently has two centuries to his name.
