Muttaiah Devaraj (born 16 August 1938) is a former cricketer who played seven matches of first-class cricket for Ceylon between 1964 and 1967. He later became a match referee.

Devaraj attended Zahira College, Colombo, where he captained the cricket team in 1958.[1] A middle-order batsman, he toured India with the Ceylon team in 1964-65, playing in five first-class matches but not in any of the matches against India. In the match against Madras he made his highest first-class score of 85, which was also Ceylon's highest score in the match.[2]

He later became a coach, an administrator and a match referee. He served as a match referee in Sri Lankan domestic cricket from 2002 to 2011.[3] He has twice been formally honoured by Sri Lanka Cricket for his services to cricket in Sri Lanka: in 2000[4] and in 2014, when the honour included an award of 300,000 rupees.[5]

In September 2018, he was one of 49 former Sri Lankan cricketers felicitated by Sri Lanka Cricket, to honour them for their services before Sri Lanka became a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[6][7]
