Abstract: In this work we consider general properties of circular orbits in the neighborhood of spherically symmetric static configurations of gravitating phantom scalar fields. In this case the metric area function $C(r)$ (in the quasiglobal coordinates) completely determines the type of a configuration (black hole, naked singularity, wormhole). In any of these cases stable circular orbits can exist only in the region $r\geqslant 3m,\, r\geqslant r_0$, where $r_0$ is a unique minimum point of the function $C(r)$, and $m$ is the mass of the configuration. Wormholes that are symmetric relative to the throat, and topological geons can have circular orbits only on their throats or on the corresponding topological surfaces; at that, possible values of specific angular momentums on the corresponding stable orbits are bounded from above. We also present a classification of the gravitating configurations according to type of their innermost stable circular orbits.

Keywords: innermost stable circular orbit, phantom scalar field, black hole, wormhole, topological geon.
