A clock distribution circuit having plural stages of buffers disposed along branch paths for dividing up a clock signal and configured in a manner that outputs of a plurality of buffers in a final stage and/or a middle stage are short-circuited, includes in relation to at least one buffer of a plurality of buffers in the same stage on a branch path, a selector for receiving an output of an adjacent buffer located upstream in terms of chain-connection along which the plurality of buffers are connected in testing, and a signal at a branch node corresponding to the at least one buffer by a first input and a second input respectively, selecting one of the first input and the second input based on a select control signal, and supplying the selected input to the one buffer.
