Circle of Dead Men, or Circle of Death refers to any tour stage that passes through the dreaded climbs of the Col d'Aubisque and the Col du Tourmalet in the Pyrenees.

The first inclusion of these climbs in 1910 was criticised by the French Press who dubbed it the Circle of Death/Circle of Dead Men.
