Katunayake (කටුනායක in Sinhala, கட்டுநாயக்க in Tamil), is a town situated on the west coast of the island of Sri Lanka near Negombo and close to the commercial capital of Colombo. It is the site of Bandaranaike International Airport, the primary international air gateway to Sri Lanka. With the change of government in 1977 and the introduction of the open economy policy a large area was allocated to create a free trade zone (currently known as the Export Promotion Zone). This created a large amount of job opportunities for the local youth and has contributed substantially towards the country's economy.

SriLankan Airlines is headquartered on the grounds of the airport in Katunayake.
