1166 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1166edo or 1166ed2), also called 1166-tone equal temperament (1166tet) or 1166 equal temperament (1166et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1166 equal parts of about 1.03 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1166, or the 1166th root of 2.

1166edo is consistent in the 9-odd-limit.

In the 5-limit, 1166edo naturally lends itself to interpretation as a superset of 22edo and 53edo. It inherits the mapping for 3/2 from 53edo, tempering out the 53rd-octave Mercator's comma, [-84 53, as well as the 22nd-octave major arcana comma, [-193 154 -22. In the 7-limit, it tempers out 2401/2400, 65625/65536, and [36 -50 15 3, providing a tuning for the tertiaseptal temperament.

In higher limits, it is a strong 2.3.17.19.41.43 subgroup tuning. Alternatively, 2.3.7/5.13/11.17.19 is also a strong subgroup choice.
