Sailan Britania (Inggris: British Ceylon; Sinhala: බ්රිතාන්ය ලංකාව, Brithānya Laṃkāva; Tamil: பிரித்தானிய இலங்கை, Birithaniya Ilangai) adalah sebuah koloni mahkota Britania antara 1815 dan 1948. Awalnya, kawasan tersebut tak meliputi Kerajaan Kandy, yang menjadi protektorat dari 1815, tetapi dari 1817 sampai 1948, kekuasaan Inggris meliputi seluruh pulau Sailan, sekarang negara Sri Lanka.
