Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath, also known as H. M. R. K. B. Herath or Rangana Herath (born 19 March 1978, Kurunegala) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He has done his higher education at Maliyadeva College, Kurunegala. He has also played cricket for Kurunegala Youth Cricket Club and Moors Sports Club. His bowling style is slow left arm orthodox. He made his Test match debut at Galle, Sri Lanka against the Australian cricket team in 1999, and his One Day International debut against the Zimbabwean cricket team at Harare Sports Ground in 2004.

Herath has joined the Sri Lankan squad in 2008 to face West Indies, for two tests and three ODIs, which is a huge opportunity to join the team for a long period of time. In one of his warm up matches he got a five wicket haul too, which really amazed the Sri Lankan squad.
