The Dodge Charger (1966), also known as Dodge Charger (B-body), is a mid-size automobile that was produced by Dodge from 1966 through 1978 model years, and was based on the Chrysler B platform.

The entire B-body lineup for the 1968 model year was redesigned, and the Charger was further differentiated from the Dodge Coronet models. Less upscale than the first generation, the new model featured coke bottle styling by Richard Sias, with curves around the front fenders and rear quarter panels. Harvey J. Winn designed front and rear end sheet metal. The fastback roof was gone, in favor of a "flying buttress" similar to that of the 1966-67 Pontiac GTO. The rear end featured a "kick up" spoiler appearance, reminiscent of the first generation's optional trunk lid spoiler. The Charger retained its full-width hidden headlight grille, but a vacuum-operated cover replaced the electric motor-powered rotating headlights. The previous full-width taillights were replaced with dual circular units at the direction of Styling Vice President, Elwood P. Engel. Dual scallops were added to the doors and hood.

Inside, numerous "downscalings" were evident. A conventional fixed rear bench seat replaced the folding bucket seat design. The conventional trunk area included a vinyl mat, rather than the previous model's carpeted cargo area. The center console in the front remained, but there was no center armrest. The tachometer was now optional, and the electroluminescent gauges were replaced with a conventional design.

The Charger's engine options were reduced midyear when the standard 318 cu in (5.2 L) 2-bbl V8, was replaced with Chrysler's 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-six. The 383-2 and 383-4 remained unchanged.
