Dulip Kapila Liyanage (born June 6, 1972 in Kalutara) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

Liyanage made his Test debut in the same Test as Muttiah Muralitharan in 1992-93, and when bowling, captured the wicket of Tom Moody with his third ball. He went wicketless during the summers against India in 1993-94, and didn't return until 1997. Following this he played in several One-day internationals before injury in Pakistan ruled him out again.

He was dropped from the team altogether in 2001 when he bowled only 14 overs in Colombo. In the Australian season 2006/07, Dulip will be coaching at the East Ivanhoe Saints cricket club in Victoria.
