High speed photometric observations of α Cir have been obtained during 138 hr on 38 nights in 1981 and 1983. A frequency analysis reveals the presence of only two frequencies in the light variations of α Cir down to a noise level of 0.2 mmag. The principal frequency is f1 = 8.791347±0.000008 hr-1 (P = 409.4936±0.0004 s); the secondary frequency is f2 = 8.7821±0.0007 hr-1. A comparison of these two frequencies with appropriately scaled solar models indicates a radial overtone of k ≈ 25. It is suggested that these two frequencies are associated with pulsation in modes of overtone and order (k, l) and (k-1, l+2). A phase shift for f1 of Δφ(V, B-V) = 13°±6° is found, the interpretation of which is problematical.
