The Eurovision Song Contest 1964 was the ninth Eurovision and was held on March 21, 1964 in Denmark. With Lotta Wæver as the presenter, the contest was won by Gigliola Cinquetti who represented Italy, with her song "Non Ho L'étà".

A political protest occured after the Swiss entry, where a man trespassed onto the stage holding a banner which said "Boycot Franco & Salazar". Whilst this was going on, television viewers were shown a shot of the scoreboard, once the man was removed the contest went on.
