In a disk size detecting circuit, the size of a disk is determined according to the speed of a motor adapted to rotate the disk and the angle through which motor has rotated after the start thereof. A counter, which is reset with the signal which starts the operation of the motor, counts pulses indicative of the amount of rotation of the motor. A rotational speed detector circuit, which may take the form of a frequency-to-voltage converter followed by a voltage comparator or a frequency counter followed by a digital comparator, produces a signal indicating the rotational speed of the motor. The output of the counter and the output of the rotational speed detector are applied to a circuit which discriminates the size of the disk according to the two signals.
