St. Sebastian's Church, Enderamulla () is a Roman Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is located in Enderamulla, Wattala. Construction of the current church building began in 1879, and it was operational by 1891. After being a coparish with Dalugama (1879–1903) and Kirimetiyagara (1903–1934), it was declared an independent parish in 1934.
