Endless Wire is the Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's thirteenth original album, released in 1978 on Warner Bros. Records (#3149). Although the album continued in the musical and writing style of Summertime Dream (1976), it marked the beginning of the end of Lightfoot's commercial success as a recording artist, although he remained both a prolific songwriter and popular as a live act.

The closing track, The Circle is Small, was a re-recording of a song from Lightfoot's fourth album, Back Here on Earth (1968).

In the USA, Endless Wire peaked at #22 on the Billboard pop chart and #14 on the country chart. "The Circle is Small" peaked at #3 on the adult contemporary chart, #33 on the pop chart and #92 on the country chart. "Dreamland" peaked at #100 on the country chart. "Daylight Katy" reached #16 on the adult contemporary chart and also charted in the UK at #41.
