Le Cercle Rouge (French pronunciation: [lə sɛʁkl ʁuʒ]; "The Red Circle") is a 1970 French crime film written and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. It stars Alain Delon, Bourvil, Gian Maria Volonté, François Périer and Yves Montand. The film is known for its climactic heist sequence which is about half an hour in length and has almost no dialogue.

The film's title refers to an epigraph which Melville made up, just as he did in Le Samouraï.
