Susanthika Jayasinghe

Susanthika Jayasinghe (født 17. december 1975 i Atnawala på Sri Lanka) er en srilankisk atlet.

Jayasinghe voksede op i en fattig familie nord for hovedstaden Colombo.

Efter at have vundet en sølvmedalje under VM i 1997 flyttede hun til USA for at træne der.

Under OL 2000 i Sydney fik Jayasinghe Sri Lankas første OL-medalje siden 1948 da hun fik en bronzemedalje i 200-meter-løb efter Marion Jones og Pauline Davis-Thompson. Jones blev senere diskvalificeret for doping. 9. december 2009 besluttede IOK at Pauline Davis-Thompson var guldmedaljevinderen og sølvmedaljen gik til Jayasinghe i 200-meter-løb for damer under sommer-OL 2000 i Sydney.
