A Small Circle of Friends is a film released in 1980 by United Artists. Directed by Rob Cohen, it stars (among others) Brad Davis, Karen Allen and Jameson Parker. The film takes place at Harvard in the 1960s, during a time of social upheaval and student unrest.

Director Cohen and screenwriter Ezra Sacks actually attended Harvard University, where the film takes place.
