Brittiska imperie- och samväldesspelen 1966 (engelska: 1966 British Empire & Commonwealth Games) var de åttonde imperie- och samväldesspelen i ordningen. Spelen hölls Kingston i Jamaica mellan den 4 och 13 augusti 1966. Det var första gången som spelen arrangerades i Jamaica, och första gången spelen hölls utanför de "vita dominionerna".[1][2]
Kingston utsågs till värdstad vid Commonwealth Games Federations möte under OS i Rom 1960, Kingston valdes med endast en röst mer än konkurrerande Edinburgh (17 röster mot 16). Även Salisbury i Sydrhodesia hade kandiderat men eliminerats i den första omgången av röstningen.[3]
Sporter
Vid Samväldesspelen 1966 tävlades det i 110 grenar i tio sporter.[1] Programmet förändrades för första gången då bowls och rodd togs bort eftersom Jamaica saknade anläggningar som höll den nödvändiga standarden, de ersattes av badminton och skytte.[4][5]

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
