Erik Briand Clausen (24 January 1901 – 29 March 1945) was a farmer and member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power.
As a member of the resistance Clausen participated in the reception of allied airdropped weapons in the area of Gyldenløves Høj.[1]
After the liberation Clausen's remains were exhumed at Ryvangen and transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine of the university of Copenhagen and on 3 August 1945 reburied at Bispebjerg Cemetery.[citation needed]
Together with Georg Quistgaard and two other resistance members who fell victim to the German occupation Clausen is commemorated with a memorial stone on Gyldenløves Høj.[1]
