'Miss Jenis' is a 2020 Sri Lankan Sinhala comedy drama film directed by Susiran De Silva and produced by Walter Abeysundara. It stars late Jayalath Manoratne in lead dual roles along with Giriraj Kaushalya, Jayalal Rohana and Duleeka Marapana in supportive roles. Music composed by Lakshman Wijesekara.

It is the debut cinema direction of Susiran de Silva, where he has produced several popular television serials earlier such as 'Manokaya' and 'Isuru Yogaya'. The film also marks the final lead role of maestro Jayalath Manoratne who died in early 2020. This is unique to Sinhala cinema as his one and only female character.
