Varuthalaivilan (Varuththalaivilan or Varuthalaivillan) (Tamil: வறுத்தலைவிளான் or வருத்தலைவிளான் or வர்த்தலைவிளான்) is a small town or village in the northern Jaffna District of Sri Lanka.

Varuthalaivilan American Mission Tamil mixed school was established by Vinasithampy Thamppipillai in 1866 and it was functioning at the village until June 1990.

[15] Being in the high security zone for 25 years, the village had become a jungle area, cancer home ruins and the pond near the temple were the only landmarks visible in the Google satellite map until it was released to the owners in April 2015.

Oct 1990, all the people from the village got displaced as the Sri Lanka Army advanced from Palaly Military Base and captured surrounding areas including Varuthalaivilan.

June 1990, hostilities broke out between Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and Sri Lanka Army.

Intermittent shelling, firing and grenade dropping from helicopters against LTTE positions affected the village resulting in displacement of half the population.

Early 1985, Sri Lanka Army tried to advance to Tellippalai town from the Palaly military base resulting in three people shot and killed in the village.

Oct 1981, after a bank robbery at Killinochi by People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE), its leader Uma Maheswaran’s parents house at the village was burnt in retaliation.
