Kumaratunga Munidasa Mawatha (Sinhala:කුමාරතුංග මුනිදාස මාවත) (formerly ''Thurstan Road'') is a road in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Located in Cinnamon Gardens, it was named after Rev. J. Thurstan, a missionary from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.〔(Commemoration of 150 years at St. Michael's Polwatta )〕 In the 1970s, it was renamed after the Sri Lankan poet Kumaratunga Munidasa.〔(President goes to Vice-Rao )〕

The Senior Government School located on the road, was named after the road as Thurstan College.〔(Map of Thurstan Road )〕〔(Thurstan Our Alma Mater )〕〔(Thurstan College 55th Founder's Day - Jan. 11 )〕

A roundabout at the junction between Kumaratunga Munidasa Mawatha, Flower road and Rajakeeya Mawatha was removed after Kumaratunga Munidasa Mawatha was made a one way road in 2006. Located at this junction is the Ministry for Power and Energy. Since the late 1980s, this building and its grounds housed the Joint Operations Command (JOC) of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces. In 1991, the LTTE detonated a van filled with explosives in a suicide bombing targeting the JOC.〔(When and why high-profile investigations fail )〕〔(My journey with Anton, Adele Balasingham and Yogi in 1991 )〕
