The City Circle is a system of underground railway lines located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that make up the heart of the Sydney underground metropolitan railway network, owned and operated by CityRail, a subsidiary of StateRail, a New South Wales government agency.

Constructed in the 1920s under the supervision of John Bradfield, the constituent stations of the Circle are (clockwise): Central, Town Hall, Wynyard, Circular Quay, St. James, Museum, back to Central.

A second underground line that branches off Town Hall Station provides train services to Martin Place, Kings Cross and Edgecliff, terminating at Bondi Junction.
