The Legislative Council of Ceylon was the legislative body of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) established in 1833 along with the Executive Council of Ceylon on the recommendations of the Colebrooke-Cameron Commission. It was the first form of representative government in the island. The 1931 Donoughmore Constitution replaced the Legislative Council with the State Council of Ceylon.
