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.[1]

The airstrip which once belonged to the LTTE is being expanded by the Sri Lankan Airforce to make it an important airforce base in the north. It will be called SLAF Iranamadu.
