Upul Chandika Hathurusingha (Sinhalese: චන්දික හතුරුසිංහ; born 13 September 1968) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer who is the current coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team, having been appointed in May 2014. He previously coached the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka A, and, at Australian domestic level, New South Wales and the Sydney Thunder. A right-handed all-rounder who bowled medium-fast, Hathurusingha played 26 Tests and 35 One Day Internationals for the Sri Lankan national cricket team, and also had a successful domestic career for Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club and Moors Sports Club.
An opening batsman, Hathurusingha was most often one of the opening batsmen alongside Roshan Mahanama. A useful pace-bowler, Hathurusingha was not called into the Test side until an injury to Mahanama stopped him from playing. Hathurusingha started his career by piecing together a trio of half-centuries in his first three matches. After a long layoff from the side when other players took over in the opening batsman position, and the subsequent discovery of Sanath Jayasuriya in just that position, Hathurusingha began to play once again, but this time as a strong middle-order batsman and medium-pace bowler. This was not to prove overly effective, though, and when Hathurusingha was not called upon to play in the Cricket World Cup in 1999, this brought about an end to his international career. He played once again in the Premier Tournament and became Player of the Tournament three seasons running (2001–02, 2002–03, 2003–04). His Twenty-20 career began in 2005–06. He has not played international cricket since 1999.
