Arachchi (Sinhala: ආරච්චි) was a native headman in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) during the colonial era. Appointed by the Government Agent of the Province, the holder had much control over the people of the area and wielded quasi-judicial powers since he was responsible to keep the peace, carry out revenue collection and assist in judicial functions. Appointments were non-transferable and usually hereditary, made to locals, usually from wealthy influential families loyal to the British Crown. The term Arachchi was also used to refer to a supervisory peon serving in government offices such as a Kachcheri or a District Court. It is no longer in use.
