The 1966 Blue Swords (German: Pokal der Blauen Schwerter) was an international senior-level figure skating competition organized in Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating and ice dancing. East German national champion Günter Zöller won the first of his four consecutive Blue Swords titles, defeating Czechoslovakia's Marian Filc and West Germany's Reinhard Ketterer.
