State Route 266 (SR 266) is a west-east state highway located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Its route is within Clay and Randolph counties.
SR 266 begins at an intersection with SR 39 about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Fort Gaines. SR 39 north leads to George T. Bagby State Park. The route heads northeast through rural parts of Clay County to Clay County Road 43 (Cotton Hill Road). Later on is CR 47 (Shaw Road). Farther to the northeast is CR 44 (Bethel Church Road). After that, the county crosses a corner of Randolph County before re-entering Clay County for a short while. Back in Randolph County, the route heads to Coleman, where it intersects Randolph CR 160 (Hangman Road). Just to the northwest is CR 33 (Chestnut Street), then CR 67 and CR 65 (Hammock Road). Northeast of Coleman is CR 66 (Hammock Road). Then is CR 17 (Mitchell Grove Road). Then, the highway encounters CR 32 (Lee Knighton Road). SR 266 eventually gets to the unincorporated community of Coles, where it intersects Cotton Hill Road (a different one from near the western terminus of SR 266), which leads to the unincorporated community of Days Crossroads. Just before reaching its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 82/SR 50 southwest of Cuthbert, the highway crosses a Central of Georgia Railway line.
