Erlanger’s lark (Calandrella erlangeri) is a small passerine bird of the lark family endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia. The name of this bird commemorates the German ornithologist Carlo von Erlanger.

Formerly, it was considered by some authorities to be a subspecies of Blanford's lark and/or the red-capped lark.[1] Alternate names include Erlanger's red-capped lark, Erlanger's short-toed lark and Ethiopian short-toed lark.
