Ehelapola Wijesundara Wickramasinghe Chandrasekara Seneviratna Jayatillake Ekanayaka Amarakone Wahala Panditha Mudiyanse (Sinhala: ඇහැලේපොල විජයසුන්දර වික්රමසිංහ චන්ද්රසේකර සෙනෙවිරත්න ජයතිලක ඒකනායක අමරකෝන් වාහල පණ්ඩිත මුදියන්සේ;[1] 1773–1829), commonly known as Ehelapola Nilame (Sinhala: ඇහැලේපොළ නිලමේ), was a courtier of the Kingdom of Kandy. He was the Pallegampahe Adigar, and held the honorary title of Maha Nilame from 1811 to 1814 under the reign of Sri Vikrama Rajasinha of Kandy. Ehelapola joined a revolt against King Rajasinha in Sabaragamuva province after he was sent to conquer it, and his entire family was executed. He helped the British launch an invasion against the Kandy Kingdom, overthrow Rajasinha, and subjugate Kandy to the British monarchy under the Kandyan Convention. Various records of Sri Lankan history suggest that he aided the British with the plan to later overthrow them. He was later convicted of treason by the British following the Great Rebellion of 1817–18, and was exiled to Mauritius.
