Sivanathan Kisshor is a Sri Lankan Tamil politician and former Member of Parliament.

In 2004 Kisshor was selected by the Tamil Tigers as a Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentary candidate.[1] Kisshor represented the Vanni multi-member electoral district for the TNA in the Sri Lankan Parliament between April 2004 and February 2010.

In 2010, after the Tamil Tigers' defeat in the civil war, the TNA deselected most of its Tamil Tiger appointed MPs, including Kisshor.[2] He subsequently joined the governing United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and stood as one of its candidates in Vanni District in the 2010 parliamentary election. He failed to get elected, coming ninth and last amongst the UPFA candidates.
