Operation Liberation also known as the Vadamarachchi Operation was the military offensive carried out by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces in May and June 1987 to recapture the territory of Vadamarachchi in the Jaffna peninsula from the LTTE.

The operation involved nearly 4,000 troops, supported by ground-attack aircraft, helicopter gunships and naval gun boats.
