The Netherlands was represented by Annie Palmen, with the song "Een speeldoos", at the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 23 March in London. Palmen was chosen internally as the Dutch representative by broadcaster NTS; she had previously taken part in the preselection in 1960.

The 1963 Dutch selection is notable for the fact that the National Songfestival could not be broadcast due to industrial action, also that the title and lyrics of the winning song were changed twice before the Eurovision final.
