'''Lanka Linux User Group''', also known as LK-LUG, is an organization in [[Sri Lanka]] for promoting [[free software]]. Since its beginnings in 1998 with 40 members, hundreds of [[Linux]] enthusiasts from several countries have joined.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

Members include both home and business users of Linux.  Activities of the group include helping each other over the [[mailing list]]s, educating the general public by participating at exhibitions, workshops and media, and encouraging the use of [[free and open-source software]] (FOSS) in national [[information and communications technology|ICT]] programmes.

LK-LUG also is working on [[Language localisation|localisation]] of the [[Linux desktop]] to the [[Sinhala language]], and has so far localised some major components.
