Pathirakali-Amman-Tempel – Pathirakali Ambal Kovil – oder Kali Kovil, Trincomalee ist ein Hindu-Tempel, der der Göttin Bhadrakali, einer Form der Göttin Kali Amman, in Trincomalee, Ostprovinz, Sri Lanka, gewidmet ist. Der Kali-Tempel der antiken Tempelanlage Trincomalee Koneswaram, ein großer Komplex miteinander verbundener Schreine im Gebiet Trincomalee Konesar Malai. Der Tempel befindet sich in der Nähe des Trincomalee Hindu College.

Das in klassischer dravidischer Architektur erbaute Kovil liegt direkt hinter der Konesar Road Esplanade vor dem Eingang zum Konamamalai (Swami-Felsen). Beide antiken Tempel liegen in der Nähe des alten Koneswaram-Tempels und haben während der Prozession des Ther Thiruvillah-Festivals und des Back Bay Sea (Theertham Karatkarai) gemeinsame Funktionen.

Der Pathirakali-Tempel in Amman zog schon vor dem 11. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Pilger an. König Rajendra Chola I. erweiterte den Schrein während seiner Regierungszeit erheblich. Eine von ihm hinterlassene Inschrift, die dies detailliert beschreibt, ist auf dem Gelände ausgestellt.

Der Tempel wird im Buch Birds of Prey (1997) von Wilbur Smith aus den 1660er Jahren erwähnt.
