Chamani Roshini Seneviratne (born 14 November 1978) is a Sri Lankan-born cricketer who currently plays for the United Arab Emirates as a right-arm medium bowler and right-handed batter. She previously played internationally for Sri Lanka between 1997 and 2013, appearing in one Test match, 80 One Day Internationals and 32 Twenty20 Internationals.

She scored Sri Lanka's only century in women's Test cricket, with 105* against Pakistan in April 1998. She also became the eighth batter to score a Test hundred on debut, and achieved the record for the highest score made by a woman when batting at number 8 or lower in women's Tests. Her 148 runs overall on debut was also the fifth-highest by a woman on Test debut. She retired from Sri Lankan cricket in January 2014, with immediate effect after refusing to attend a practice session in December 2013.

In May 2018, she was named in the United Arab Emirates squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament. She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for the UAE against the Netherlands in the World Twenty20 Qualifier on 7 July 2018.

On 19 February 2019, in the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Asia match against Kuwait, she took her first five-wicket haul in WT20Is. In June 2020, Seneviratne was stranded in the UAE, after losing her coaching job in Abu Dhabi due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
