Maharagama is an outer suburb of Colombo, Sri Lanka on the High-Level (A4) Road about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre of the commercial capital.

Governed by the Maharagama Urban Council, the town possesses facilities like supermarkets, department stores, clothing, food and beverages shops to fulfill the needs of citizens.

The stations lie on the Kelani Valley Line, with local trains to Colombo Fort, Maradana, and Avissawella.

Currently the Kelani Valley Line serves an increasingly urbanizing population between Colombo Fort and Maharagama.

Though capacity increased through broad-gauging the line, services face limitations due to sharp curves and the illegal construction on the sides of the track between Colombo and Maharagama.
