The Vadamarachchi Operation Medal (Sinhala: වඩමාරච්චි මෙහෙයුම් පදක්කම vadamārachchi meheyum padakkama) was a campaign medal presented to all ranks of the regular and volunteer forces of the Military of Sri Lanka that served in the Vadamarachchi Operation (26 May 1987 to June 1987), the last major campaign carried out by the Sri Lankan military as part of Eelam War I before the arrival of the Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sri Lanka. The award was also awarded to civilians that aided in the operation.
