Denzil Peiris (15 March 1917 – 6 March 1985) was the editor of The Ceylon Observer, published by Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited. Peiris was born on 15 March 1917, at Gampaha the eldest of a family of eight. He received his education at Nalanda College Colombo. His father died whilst he was still at school so he took a job with Lake House (now known as Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited) to support his family. He rose through the ranks becoming the editor of Silumina in the 1950s, Janatha ( a Sinhalese daily tabloid), Jana (an international news magazine) and eventually The Ceylon Observer in 1961, a position he retained for nine years.
