Erlecom is a hamlet[3][4] in the Dutch municipality of Berg en Dal, in the province of Gelderland.

Erlecom was first mentioned between 800 and 850 as Adelrichheim, and means "settlement of Adelrik".[5] Erlecom was a heerlijkheid until the French period (1806).[4] The castle De Kleverburg was first mentioned in 1343, and disappeared in a flood in the late-18th century. There were brickworks in Erlecom during the 19th century. In 1840, it was home to 202 people.[3]
