Barangay Dalandanan, is one of the highly developed barangays in Valenzuela City, Philippines. The namesake of Brgy.

Residents near the border of Esteban celebrates the fiesta of San Roque every May, those in San Simon celebrate the feast of San Pedro in June, Belando residents observe the fiesta of the Sto. Nino in January and those who lived near A. Marcelo hold the feast of the Black Nazarene every January. An Iglesia ni Cristo chapel is also located along Km. 15, Mc Arthur Highway.
