Yalpana Vaipava Malai (Tamil: யாழ்ப்பாண வைபவமாலை) is a book written by a Tamil poet named Mayil Vaakanaar (Tamil: மயில் வாகனார்) in 1736. This book contains historical facts of the early Tamil city of Jaffna. The book may have been written around 1736, during the Governorship of Jan Maccara, the then Dutch Governor of Jaffna. It was translated from Tamil by C. Brito, and was first published in 1879. The work is looked upon as one of great authority among the Tamils of Jaffna.
