CiRcuS is the second album released by Filipino alternative rock group The Eraserheads in 1994. It is a concept album as most of the songs are nearly as entertaining as going to the circus. CiRcuS spawned hits such as "Alapaap", "Sembreak", "Kailan", "Magasin" and "With A Smile".
The album is reissued by Sony-BMG Entertainment in 2006.
