Kalutara Town Club are a former first-class cricket team based in Kalutara, Sri Lanka. They played one season of first-class cricket, in the 1996-97 Saravanamuttu Trophy. They had previously been the inaugural winner of the Daily News Trophy in 1938 in the days before it had first-class status.

They played 13 first-class matches in 1996-97, losing 10 and drawing three, and finished last. Their captain was Pathmanath Perera, who hit the team's highest score, 133, against Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club, and took the best bowling figures, 6 for 41, against Panadura Sports Club.

Since that season Kalutara Town Club has competed at the next level below first-class. Their home ground is now Surrey Village Cricket Ground in Maggona, not far from Kalutara.
