The C166 family is a 16-Bit microcontroller architecture from Infineon (formerly the semiconductor division of Siemens) in cooperation with ST Microelectronics. It was first released in 1993. It uses the well-establied RISC concept, but features some microcontroller-specific extensions such as bit-addressable memory and an interrupt system optimized for low-latency. When this architecture has been introduced the main focus has been to replace 8051 controllers (from Intel).

The C166 is no longer produced. It has been replaced by the C167 family and XC167 family.
