The Buick Circus Hour is an American television series which aired from 1952 to 1953 on NBC. It was a variety series with a circus theme. It was a 60-minute show. As the title suggests, it was sponsored by Buick. Archival status is not known, but the debut episode appears on the Internet Archive.

This series aired once a month at the Tuesday night 8:00 PM Eastern time slot normally occupied by the Texaco Star Theater which starred Milton Berle.

A reviewer for the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper felt the series was not up to 1952 standards (comparing the show with a 1948 variety show), though also describing the cast and crew as being talented.[1]
