The 1976 anti-Muslim violence in Puttalam was a series of organised violent events by Sinhalese mobs against the Muslim population of Puttalam in northwestern Sri Lanka, which occurred between 31 January and 7 February 1976. The violence was carried out under the leadership of a Buddhist monk and with the complicity of local authorities. It culminated in the killing of seven Muslims in the Puttalam Jumma Mosque by the police on 2 February. Overall, eleven Muslims were killed, and dozens were injured. 271 Muslim houses, 44 Muslim shops and two mosques were burnt down by mobs. This was the second major outbreak of communal violence between the Sinhalese and Muslim communities since 1915.
