Daniel John Erlandsson (born 22 May 1976 in Malmö, Sweden) is the drummer in the melodic death metal band Arch Enemy.

His early work includes drumming on the In Flames album Subterranean. He has also played for other bands, most notably Eucharist, Liers in Wait, Diabolique, Armageddon (featuring Christopher Amott of Arch Enemy), Revengia and The End.

Daniel's older brother is Adrian Erlandsson, the drummer of Brujeria and Paradise Lost and the former drummer of At the Gates and Cradle of Filth. They both grew up together in Sweden and started playing drums at a very young age. Daniel writes on the Arch Enemy website: "We grew up together and used to jam on a little kit in our parents basement, he started first and after some years I started too... He’s been a great influence over the years, and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn’t be playing today."

Currently, he is playing reunion shows with legendary grindcore band Carcass as their original drummer Ken Owen cannot play due to complications from a brain haemorrhage he had in 1999. The Carcass reunion show schedule continues in 2009, a new North American tour is announced for March 2009. Fellow Arch Enemy member Michael Amott (who was a member of Carcass during 1990-93) is playing with them also.
