The '''Court Circular''' is the official record that lists the engagements carried out by the [[monarch]] of the United Kingdom and the other [[Commonwealth realm]]s; the [[British royal family|royal family]]; and appointments to their staff and to the court. It is issued by [[St James's Palace]] and printed a day in arrears at the back of ''[[The Times]]'', ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' and ''[[The Scotsman]]'' newspapers. An archive of the circular since 1997 is provided on the British monarchy's website.

The circular is traditionally written in very formal language, and describes persons with their official styles and titles at all times ([[Michael Ancram]], for instance, was referred to as "the Marquess of Lothian MP" from 2004 to 2010). There has, however, been some modernisation of the writing style in recent years.
