H. G. S. Bandara (Sinhala: H. G. S. බණ්ඩාර, died 17 May 2009) was a soldier in the Sri Lanka Army. He was killed in a battle against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (commonly known as LTTE or Tamil Tigers), two days before the civil war ended. Three years later, he was posthumously awarded the Parama Weera Vibhushanaya, the country's highest military award for gallantry, for his actions during that battle.
