The Sanremo Music Festival 1957 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1957), officially the 7th Italian Song Festival (VII Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo), was the seventh annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Sanremo Casino in Sanremo between 7 and 10 February 1957. It was organised by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI) in cooperation with the Sanremo Casino. The television production was directed by Lino Procacci. Giulio Razzi served as the artistic director. The shows were presented by Nunzio Filogamo, Marisa Allasio, Fiorella Mari, and Nicoletta Orsomando.
Every song was performed twice, with different singers or groups, and with most artists performing multiple songs. This edition included four nights, containing two semi-finals, a final and a competition of songs submitted by independent composers.
The winner of the festival was "Corde della mia chitarra", performed by Claudio Villa and Nunzio Gallo. The winner of the competition also went on to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957, with Gallo chosen from the two interpreters.
