The Eurovision Song Contest 1964 was the ninth Eurovision Song Contest. A political protest occurred after the Swiss entry, where a man trespassed onto the stage holding a banner which said "Boycott 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.

Italy's win was their first. Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia each scored nul points for the first time. Portugal was the first country to score no points on their debut.
