Vidyaloka College is a boys' school in Galle, Sri Lanka. The school was established on 14 January 1941 by philanthropist Henry Woodward Amarasuriya under the patronage of Venerable Weliwitiye Punyasara Thera. It is a national school which accommodates over 2200 students and provides primary and secondary education to them. The school was re-constructed after it was badly affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.

The college today provides education to about 2200 students from grade 1 to grade 13 and it is regarded as one of the leading boys' schools in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka.

Students are divided into four houses according to their admission number. These houses are named after four ancient kings of Sri Lanka.
