Morawakage Maheesh Theekshana (born 1 August 2000), is a cricketer who plays all white ball cricket for Sri Lanka Cricket Team. He made his international debut for Sri Lanka in September 2021.

He is known for bowling spin at high speeds that exceeds 100 km/h and for bowling yorkers by a spinner, which makes difficult for the batsman to face. He is also a handy lower-order batsman. He is best known for his wicket celebration where he imitates an Archer.
