Rawan Ella (also spelled Ranvan Ella; Sinhala: රන්වන් ඇල්ල/රවන් ඇල්ල), is a waterfall in the village of Uduhawara, in Badulla District, near the boundary with the Nuwara Eliya District, Sri Lanka. It is a horsetail-type waterfall, approximately 40 metres (130 ft) high.

Rawan Ella is fed by streams within the Central Highlands and is surrounded by hills, including Rahugala and Wilibissa, which are popular hiking destinations. The final approach to the falls involves a short walk of 200–300 metres, and there is motorable access up to Korandekumbura town, which is about 1 km away.

The falls are located approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) from Welimada, 13 kilometres from the Hakgala Botanical Garden and 22 kilometres (14 miles) from Nuwara Eliya. It lies around 3 km from the larger Bomburu Ella Falls, and can be accessed via hiking routes and gravel roads from the east and west.
