# Campionat del Món de motociclisme de 1966

La temporada de 1966 del Campionat del món de motociclisme fou la 18a edició d'aquest campionat, organitzat per la FIM. Després de molts anys aparegué una motocicleta capaç de competir amb les MV Agusta, l'Honda. Aquell any Giacomo Agostini va guanyar el primer dels 7 títols consecutius, després d'una interessant lluita amb Mike Hailwood que havia fitxat pel nou equip d'Honda per a fer-hi parella amb Jim Redman. El rhodesià es va lesionar al Gran Premi de Bèlgica deixant Hailwood al capdavant de l'equip. Finalment l'equip japonès es va haver de conformar amb el títol de constructors.
D'altra banda, aquell any hi hagué la primera victòria d'una motocicleta catalana en una cursa del Mundial, concretament la Bultaco TSS pilotada per Ginger Molloy, a la categoria dels 250cc del Gran Premi de l'Ulster.
