Lieutenant Commander Jude Lakmal Wijethunge (Sinhala: ජූඩ් ලක්මාල් විජේතුංග, died 30 March 1996), was an officer in the Sri Lanka Navy.

He was a proud product of Ananda Central College Elpitiya.

He was posthumously awarded the Parama Weera Vibhushanaya, Sri Lanka's highest military award for gallantry, for his actions on 30 March 1996 in defending a Navy transport from a Sea Tiger attack.

As part of an escort to the transport vessel, Wijethunge fought off repeated attacks until his craft had suffered severe damage including to its engines, and all his crew were incapacitated.
