District and Circle is a collection of poems written by Irish Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney. It was published in 2006 forty years after his debut, Death of a Naturalist, and was awarded the 2006 T. S. Eliot Prize. The collection also won the Irish Times Poetry Now Award (Heaney won the latter award again in 2011 for his collection, Human Chain).[1]

District and Circle are both lines on the London Underground. The poet dedicated this work to the death of his four year old brother.

Heaney has been recorded reading this collection on the Seamus Heaney Collected Poems album.
