Edmund Bernard Dimbulane was a Ceylonese politician and a former member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka.[1][2]

In March 1955, the sitting member for Alutnuwara electoral district, J. A. Rambukpota, died. At the subsequent by-election, held on 28 May 1955, Dimbulane ran as the United National Party candidate. He polled 5,921 votes (58% of the total vote) and 3,114 votes clear of his nearest rival from the Lanka Sama Samaja Party.[3][4]

He contested the 3rd parliamentary election, held from 5 to 10 April 1956, but was unable to retain his seat, losing to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party candidate K. D. Goonaratne, by 2,448 votes.[5]
