Yatala Vehera (also spelled Yatala Wehera) is an ancient Buddhist stupa dating back to the 3rd Century B.C, located in Deberawewa - Thissamaharama in Hambantota District of Sri Lanka.

It is believed that the stupa was built 2300 years ago by regional king Yatala Thissa of Ruhuna to commemorate the place where he was born.

However some believe that the stupa was built by regional king Mahanaga, father of Yatala Thissa to mark the birth of his son.

[2] In various historical documents and chronicles, this stupa has been also referred as Mani Chethiya and Yattalaya.

A small opening has been left in the renovated stupa to observe the different phases of construction.
