Kottu, also known as Koththu Rotti or Kothu Roti (Sinhala: කොත්තුරොටි; Tamil: கொத்துரொட்டி; meaning chopped bread), is a Sri Lankan dish made from godhamba roti (a type of Sri Lankan roti) and vegetables, egg and/or meat, and spices. The bread is described as similar to the type found in the south Indian kothu parotta and roti canai, with the former dish overall being very similar to the Koththu Rotti. A common dinner dish, kothu has become popular in cities with a significant Sri Lankan diaspora population, such as Toronto and New York City's Little Sri Lanka neighborhood.

Generally, the consumer chooses what and how much of the amount of ingredients are included if someone else is preparing. Kothu is considered the Sri Lankan equivalent of the hamburger, in terms of its popularity.

The Koththu Fest is an annual Sri Lankan food festival held at Albert Campbell Square in Scarborough, Toronto with chefs serving various types of Kothu.
