Abstract
We summarize the main features of several dark matter candidates in extra-dimensional theories. In particular, we review Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons in universal extra dimensions and branons in brane-world models. KK gravitons are superWIMP (superweakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter, and branons are WIMP (weakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter. Both dark matter candidates are naturally produced in the correct amount to form much or all of dark matter.
