The men's 440 yards event at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was held on 8 and 11 August 1966 at the Independence Park in Kingston, Jamaica.[1] It was the last time that the imperial distance was contested at the Games later replaced by the 400 metres.
The winning margin was 0.98 seconds which as of 2024 remains the only time the men's 440 yards or men's 400 metres was won by more than 0.8 seconds at these games.
