Circus Charlie (サーカスチャーリー, Sākasu Chārī) is an action game originally published in arcades by Konami in 1984.

The Famicom version just like MSX port drops the trampoline stage, but offers a "B" mode, in which all the levels are repeated with added difficulty.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Circus Charlie on their May 15, 1984 issue as being the third most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
