Erlanger’s lark (Calandrella erlangeri) is a small passerine bird of the lark family. It occurs in Africa in the highlands of Ethiopia. The name of this bird commemorates the German ornithologist Carlo von Erlanger.
It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of Blanford's lark, Calandrella blanfordi, but Clements splits this form as a separate species
