The maximum likelihood estimator for the integer-valued parameter of the Erlang density is derived. The estimator is easily obtained by solving a simple nonlinear equation, requiring no calculus. Asymptotic theory is provided to show that the estimator is consistent in the discrete sense, i.e. for i
