Eladrin are a fictional race of creatures appearing in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. Introduced in the Planescape setting of AD&D 2nd edition and D&D 3rd edition, Eladrin were described as a type of celestial of chaotic good alignment and hailed from the plane of Arborea. In D&D 4th edition, Eladrin are instead a race of fey beings, closely akin to elves.

Eladrin debuted as several cards in the Blood Wars Card Game in 1995, including the Bralani, Coure, Firre Troops, Ghaele Elite, Noviere Raider, Shiere Crusaders, Faerinaal, Queen's Consort, Gwynarwhyf the Veiled, Tulani Champion, Tulani Warlord, and Faerie Queen Morwel.

Eladrin first appeared in a D&D product in Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix II (1995). This book featured the greater eladrin: the tulani, the firre, and the ghaele. And the lesser eladrin: the bralani, the coure, the noviere, and the shiere.

Eladrin were further detailed, and presented as player character options in Warriors of Heaven (1999); Morwel and Vaeros were presented as examples of notable eladrins.

The ghaele eladrin appears under the celestial entry in the Monster Manual for this edition (2000).

The firre eladrin appears under the celestial entry in the Manual of the Planes (2001).

Savage Species (2003) presented the ghaele eladrin as both a race and a playable class.

The bralani and ghaele eladrin appear in the revised Monster Manual for this edition (2003).

The coure, the firre, the shiradi, and the tulani eladrin appear in Book of Exalted Deeds (2003). The book also details the Court of Stars, the celestial paragons of the eladrin: Morwel, Queen of Stars; Faerinaal, the Queen's Consort; and Gwynarwhyf, the Whirling Fury.
