Sri Vikrama Rajasinha (1780 – January 30th 1832 born Kannasamy Nayaka) was the last of four Kings to rule the last Sinhalese monarchy of the Kingdom of Kandy in Sri Lanka. The Nayak Kings were Telugu Buddhists that spoke Tamil. The King was eventually deposed by the British under the terms of the Kandyan Convention in 1815 ending over 2300 years of Sinhalese monarchy on the island.
