Iranamadu or Iranaimadu (Tamil: இரணைமடு, romanized: Iraṇaimaṭu, lit. 'Double-bund'; Sinhala: ඉරණමඩුව, romanized: Iraṇamaḍuva) is a military city in Kilinochchi District, Sri Lanka. It includes a lake that provides water to the paddy fields in the region. The Sri Lankan Army claimed in early 2009 that they had captured an Air Tiger airstrip in the area.
