The Sri Lanka People's Front (Sinhala: ශ්‍රී ලංකා පොදුජන පෙරමුණ, romanized: Śrī Laṃkā Podujana Peramuna; Tamil: இலங்கை பொதுஜன முன்னணி, romanized: Ilaṅkai Potujaṉa Muṉṉaṇi), commonly known by its Sinhalese name Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), is a political party in Sri Lanka. It is the current ruling party in Sri Lanka. Previously a minor political party known as the Sri Lanka National Front (SLNF) and Our Sri Lanka Freedom Front (OSLFF), it was relaunched in 2016 as the SLPP and the party became the base for members of the United People's Freedom Alliance loyal to its former leader Mahinda Rajapaksa.[4]

The party was formed as a result of a split from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), a centre-left, Sinhalese nationalist, and post-colonial party.[10] The SLPP borrowed some elements of the SLFP's ideology but not its economic outlook,[10] and is opposed to federalism in Sri Lanka.[12] The party is led by Rajapaksa,[13] a former president of Sri Lanka. Sagara Kariyawasam is the general secretary of the party. G. L. Peiris was formerly the chairman of the party before defecting from it to form the Freedom People's Congress.[14]
