Sumario:The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is an option for a future electron-positron collider operating at centre-of-mass energies from a few hundred GeV up to 3 TeV. Details will be presented on two recent physics benchmark analyses of electroweak measurements at CLIC based on full detector simulations and assuming centre-of-mass energies of 1.4 and 3 TeV. Vector boson scattering gives insight into the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. The processes e$^+$e$^-\rightarrow$WW$\nu\nu$ and e$^+$e$^-\rightarrow$ZZ$\nu\nu$ were studied using fully hadronic events which provide the full kinematic information on the final-state bosons. The expected precisions on anomalous gauge couplings are extracted. The process e$^+$e$^-\rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ allows to search for deviations from QED. The expected sensitivities to a finite electron size and other scenarios are discussed.
