Bundesautobahn 66 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 66, short form Autobahn 66, abbreviated as BAB 66 or A 66) is an autobahn in southwestern Germany. It connects the Taunus to Fulda, passing close to Frankfurt am Main. The first part of the autobahn between Wiesbaden and the Nordwestkreuz Frankfurt, was opened as early as 1934, then called the Rhein-Main-Schnellweg. It became an autobahn in 1965.

The autobahn is incomplete; there still is a gap within Frankfurt city limits. A tunnel was proposed as a solution, however this was not carried out so far due to the high cost of construction. There is also a second gap southwest of Fulda; traffic is routed onto the B 40 for approximately 9 kilometers before the A 66 resumes just prior to the junction with the A 7. This section, which will include a 1.6 km tunnel, is currently under construction, with a completion target of late 2013.
