"Warm Wet Circles" is a song by the British neo-prog band Marillion. It was the third single from their fourth studio album Clutching at Straws, released on 26 October 1987.[2]

"Warm Wet Circles" peaked at number 22 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's 9th top-thirty hit in a row, and remained on the chart for four weeks. The music video featured footage of the band's concert at Lorelei in West Germany on 18 July 1987. The B-side is a live recording of "White Russian", another track from Clutching at Straws also made during the Loreley concert. The 12" version additionally contains a version of "Incommunicado" from this concert.

In Argentina, the single was published under the Spanish title "Círculos Húmedos y Cálidos".

A CD replica of the single was also part of a collector's box-set released in July 2000 which contained Marillion's first twelve singles and was re-issued as a 3-CD set in 2009.
