English River 66 is a First Nations reserve in Cochrane District, Ontario, Canada. It sits beside the settlement of Mammamattawa and is just downstream from the mouth of the Kabinakagami River where it meets the Kenogami River. It is one of two reserves of the Constance Lake First Nation and covers about 31.1 square kilometers (3,108 hectares). The reserve observes Eastern Time (UTC-5, UTC-4 in summer).

History: In 1884, the Hudson’s Bay Company opened a trading post at the junction of the Kenogami (also called English River) and Kabinakagami Rivers, known as the English River Post. The English River First Nation, which later became part of today’s Constance Lake First Nation, set aside a reserve just north of the post in 1912. That land remains part of Constance Lake lands as English River 66 Indian Reserve.
