El circo (Цирк, transl. Tsirk) es una película musical y melodramática soviética de 1936 dirigida por Grigori Aleksándrov en los estudios Mosfilm. Está basada en una comedia escrita por Ilf y Petrov, y por Valentín Katáyev, y representada en el music hall de Moscú, Under the Circus Dome (Под куполом цирка), donde fue vista y aprobada por Aleksándrov. Los autores escribieron el guion, pero al comienzo del rodaje se fueron a Estados Unidos. A su vuelta, desaprobaron la labor del director, y tras el conflicto abandonaron su trabajo, prohibiendo que se mencionaran sus nombres en los créditos, y siendo sustituidos por el escritor Isaak Bábel. La película está protagonizada por la actriz y cantante Lyubov Orlova. La producción contiene temas musicales que se convirtieron en clásicos soviéticos, entre los que se encuentra Shiroká straná moyá rodnaya (Canción Ancho es mi país patrio).
