Badminton at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was the inaugural appearance for Badminton at the Commonwealth Games.
Badminton and shooting were added to the Games because two sports; lawn bowls and rowing were dropped due to lack of facilities.
The badminton events took place at the Convention Hall in the National Arena, in Kingston, Jamaica, from 4 to 9 August 1966.
England topped the badminton medal table by virtue of winning three gold medals.
