...And The Circus Leaves Town is the fourth and final studio album by Kyuss, released on July 11, 1995 (see 1995 in music).

At over 70 minutes, it is Kyuss' longest studio album to date. Although not as successful as Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley, ...And The Circus Leaves Town is now considered a minor classic, but at the time, it received lukewarm reviews and sold poorly. A video was made for "One Inch Man", the album's only official single.

...And The Circus Leaves Town was also Kyuss' last studio album before disbanding 3 months after its release. Afterward, guitarist Josh Homme moved on to his new band Queens of the Stone Age and began the Desert Sessions project. It is also believed the album was only made in order to fulfill contractual obligations with the band's label Elektra Records, and this would be one of the reasons why the band wanted to break up.
