The '''Eurovision Song Contest 1962''' was the 7th edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], held on 18 March 1962 in the {{lang|fr|Grand Auditorium|i=unset}} of the [[Villa Louvigny]] in [[Luxembourg City]], Luxembourg and presented by Mireille Delannoy. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|fr|[[Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion]]|i=unset}} (CLT), and originally known as the '''{{lang|fr|Grand Prix Eurovision 1962 de la Chanson Européenne|i=unset}}''' ({{langx|en|Eurovision Song Contest Grand Prix 1962}}<ref name="Radio Times" />), the contest was held in {{esccnty|Luxembourg}} following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1961||1961 contest}} with the song "[[Nous les amoureux]]" by [[Jean-Claude Pascal]]. Sixteen countries participated in the event, with the same line-up of nations as at the previous year's contest.

For the third time in five years the winner was {{esccnty|France}} with the song "{{lang|fr|[[Un premier amour]]|i=unset}}", composed by {{ill|Claude-Henri Vic|fr}}, written by Roland Valade and performed by [[Isabelle Aubret]]. {{esccnty|Monaco}} placed second for the first time, while the host nation came third, resulting in French language-songs occupying all of the top three positions. For the first time in the contest's history an entry received ''[[nul points]]'' from all juries, with {{esccnty|Austria}}, {{esccnty|Belgium}}, the {{esccnty|Netherlands}} and {{esccnty|Spain}} all receiving zero points overall.

Each participating broadcaster appointed a spokesperson, connected to the contest venue via [[telephone line]]s and responsible for announcing, in English or French, the votes for its respective country.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Rules of the Contest |date=31 October 2018 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=13 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004011300/https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |archive-date=4 October 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=24 May 2021 |title=Lugano to Liverpool: Broadcasting Eurovision |url=https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/broadcasting-eurovision/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512185848/https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/broadcasting-eurovision/ |archive-date=12 May 2023 |access-date=23 October 2023 |publisher=[[National Science and Media Museum]]}}</ref> Known spokespersons at the 1962 contest are listed below.

== Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span> ==
<!-- Anchor in the header is the old section name -->
Jury voting was used to determine the points awarded by all countries. The announcement of the results from each country was conducted in reverse order to that which each country performed, with the spokespersons announcing their country's points in English or French in descending order.<ref name="contestAV" />{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=295–298}} The detailed breakdown of the points awarded by each country is listed in the tables below, with voting countries listed in the order in which they presented their votes.

The new voting system produced what some consider to be one of the least exciting voting sequences in the contest's history, with France quickly taking the lead and ultimately finishing with double the number of points compared to the runner-up Monegasque entry.<ref name="ESC1962" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=20–21}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=295–298}} With each country only able to award points to three of the potential fifteen countries available, leaving twelve countries without points, the new system also most likely contributed to countries being awarded zero points overall for the first time.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=20–21}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=295–298}}
