    Circle Drive is a major road constructed as a ring road in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was first conceived in 1913 by the city commissioner and completed exactly 100 years later in 2013. Most of the route is a fully-controlled access freeway, however the segment between Airport Drive and Millar Avenue has at-grade intersections.

    Its route signed as both part of Highway 16 (Trans-Canada/Yellowhead Highway) and Highway 11, with both being cosigned along the entire length. Officially, Highway 16 follows the eastern half of Circle Drive between the cloverleaf interchange at its southeastern extremity and Idylwyld Drive; while Highway 11 follows the southern portion of Circle Drive between the cloverleaf interchange and the Idylwyld Drive (Idylwyld Freeway) before continuing north through Downtown Saskatoon.
