Hashan Tillakaratne (born July 14, 1967) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. Tillakaratne is known for his defensive batting(one scenario which portrays this is when he managed to score a miserly 7 from over a 150 balls!). He was the test captain, but after his side lost 3-0 to Australia in Sri Lanka early in 2004, he stepped down from the captaincy.
