Telescope is the twenty-ninth album by the Finnish experimental rock band Circle.

It was recorded live at Cairo in Würzburg, Germany, on 12 June 2003. Unusually for a Circle live album, it was not released immediately, but in a 2007 double CD edition from Sunhair. It is the longest album that Circle have released to date, though it contains only six tracks, all long, improvised pieces similar to those released in the on-going series of limited edition vinyl-only live releases. At 33 minutes, "Kaarre" is the longest continuous track Circle has ever released, although "Diamond" from 2004's Mountain, split over two sides of vinyl, is technically a longer piece.
