Dambadeniya (DMBD) on varemetes iidne linn, mis asub Loodeprovintsis (Wayamba), Sri Lankas Kurunegala–Negombo peamise maantee ääres. See oli Sri Lanka pealinn 13. sajandi keskel. Suur osa Dambadeniyast on endiselt maetud tohutu kindlustatud kalju alla. Dambadeniya asub umbes 31 km kaugusel Kurunegalast, Loodeprovintsi tänapäevasest pealinnast. Dambadeniya asub umbes 4 km kaugusel Giriullast.

Dambadeniya, umbes 30 km edelas Kurunegalast, muutus tähtsaks 13. sajandi keskel.[1] Kuningas Vijayabahu III (1232–36) valis selle Sri Lanka kuningriigi pealinnaks. Riigi suveräänsus oli ohus sissetungide tõttu, mis tõrjusid Polonnaruwa pealinna kohalt välja. Vijayabahu, Dambadeniya dünastia kuningas, võitles sissetungijatega ja rajas Dambadeniya. Dambadeniya kalju tipule ehitas ta kindlustused, tugevad müürid ja väravad. Linna kaitsti vallikraaviga, sooga ja muldkindlustustega kuningliku palee ümber. Kuningas Parakramabahu II (1236–70) valitsemisajal saavutas Dambadeniya oma hiilgeaja. Kuningas Parakramabahu II veatud poeetilised meistriteosed "Kavisilumina" ja "Visuddi Marga Sannasa" andsid singali kirjandusele uue suuna. Dambadeniya ajastu oli põhjuseks, miks singali kirjandus ei piirdunud ainult maalide ega kirjutistega.
