Karuppiahyage Ravindra Pushpakumara (born July 21, 1975 in Panadura) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.
Having impressed with the Under-19s, he made his Test debut in August 1994, against Pakistan, where he was noted as the fastest bowler Sri Lanka had had for many years. Despite his pace, his variation on duller pitches was lacking, and thus he failed to get into the Sri Lankan side on a regular basis.
His last Test was against Bangladesh in the Asian Test Championship. Since 2004 Ravindra has played Twenty-20 cricket.
