(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66, kortweg Route 66, is een nummer geschreven door Bobby Troup in 1946.
Het nummer gaat, vanzelfsprekend, over Route 66, een Amerikaanse autosnelweg (U.S. Route) die Chicago en Los Angeles verbond (3940 km).
De bekendste versie is die van Chuck Berry uit 1961.
Berry's versie trok de aandacht van The Rolling Stones, die het nummer in 1964 coverden.
De andere bekende coverversies van het oorspronkelijke nummer waren die van Them (1965), Depeche Mode (1987), Michael Martin Murphey (1990), Nats dochter Natalie Cole (1991) en Herman Brood (1999).
