Violent Waves is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Circa Survive. It was released on August 28, 2012.

Recording started on April 16, 2012 and was completed on April 24, 2012 at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA. Additional production by Will Yip & Vince Ratti. Engineered by Will Yip & Vince Ratti.
