Chandamukha Siva (a.k.a. Sandamuhunu) was King of Anuradhapura in the 1st century, whose reign lasted from 43 to 52 AD.[1] He succeeded his father Ilanaga as King of Anuradhapura.

During his period he built a tank near to the village called Manikaragama and gave it to a temple called Issaramanna and his consort Damilidevi was allotted her own revenue from that village to give this temple.

Chandamukha was assassinated by his brother Yasalalaka Tissa at a water festival at Tissa Lake, who succeeded him afterwards.[2]
