'''Henri-Alexandre Danlos''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|æ|n|l|ɒ|s|}}, {{IPA|fr|ɑ̃ʁi alɛksɑ̃dʁ(ə) dɑ̃los}}; 26 March 1844 – 12 September 1912) was a French physician and dermatologist born in Paris. A group of inherited connective tissue disorders, the Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, have been named after both him and Danish dermatologist Edvard Ehlers (1863-1937).{{citation needed|date=April 2026}}
He studied medicine in Paris, and during the early part of his career performed research in the laboratory of Charles-Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884). In 1881, he became ''médecin des hôpitaux'', and four years later was ''chef de service'' at the Hôpital Tenon in Paris. In 1895, he received an appointment at the Hôpital Saint-Louis.{{citation needed|date=April 2026}}
Danlos was a pioneer in the use of radium for treatment of lupus erythematosus of the skin, and in 1901 with physicist Eugène Bloch (1878-1944), he was the first to apply radium on tuberculous skin lesions.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=AzxbXfBApEEC&pg=PA27 Nuclear Medicine Radioactivity for Diagnosis and Therapy by Richard Zimmermann]</ref>
