Soma Edirisinghe (Sinhala: සෝමා එදිරිසිංහ; 5 July 1939 – 5 November 2015) was a Sri Lankan corporate executive, film producer, philanthropist and social worker.

[2] She was born in Meegoda, Sri Lanka on 5 July 1939 to a family of nine daughters,[3] and died on 5 November 2015 at a private hospital in Colombo.

Friends and family expected her to sell the business due to her lack of knowledge and experience in the commercial world.

Edirisinghe was the founder and the chairperson of the Janasarana Foundation, an independent non-profit organisation that revolves round helping the underprivileged sectors of society.

[21] Some of the projects she initiated include Chuo Maithree Pre-school, the Suwanetha Mobile Eye Care Clinic,[22] the Punarjeewa Fund for assisting the poor to undergo heart surgery, upgrading underdeveloped hospitals, scholarships and assistance to under privileged school children and underdeveloped schools,[23] helping destitute families and those displaced by war to recover, building houses for those affected by natural disasters such as floods, drought and the tsunami and most recently setting up the Suwanetha Lions Eye Hospital.
