Sri Lanka competed at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England from 28 July to 8 August 2022.[1] This was Sri Lanka's 17th appearance at the Commonwealth Games.

On June 30, 2022 the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka announced a team of 114 athletes (54 men and 60 women).[2] For the first time ever, more women will compete than men.[3][4] On July 19, 2022, the table tennis team of four male athletes was withdrawn, meaning the final team size was 50 men and 60 women (110 total athletes) competing in 13 sports.[5][6]

Weightlifter Indika Dissanayake and cricketer Chamari Athapaththu were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[7][8]

Sri Lanka finished the competition with four medals (one silver and three bronze), ranking the country 31st overall on the medal table. Sri Lanka won its first ever Commonwealth Games medal in the sport of wrestling.[9]
