Veteran left-arm spinner Rangana Herath bowled the home side to victory on day five, taking 5 for 54 in just the second Test triumph for Sri Lanka over Australia.
The two teams have played 27 Tests over 33 years with Australia winning 18 and Sri Lanka two.
Their last victory over Australia also came in Kandy back in 1999.
As dark clouds lurked in the hills around Pallekele Stadium towards the end of the second session of day five, Herath bowled Stephen O'Keefe to end Australia's stubborn resistance for 161.
The second match in the three Test series starts in Galle on August 4.
