Pilimathalawa (also spelled as Pilimatalawa; ) is a suburb of the city of Kandy, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. It is governed by the Kadugannawa Urban Council. The town is situated 10 km away from Kandy, the district capital, and 104 km away from Colombo.
Thalawa means flat area in Sinhalese, while pilima means statue. However, the town's name may or may not have been formed by these words. The town's modern name is simply a standardization of its ancient village name.
