Finland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 with the song "Muistojeni laulu", written by Börje Sundgren, and performed by Laila Halme. The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), selected its entry through a national final and, subsequently, the performer internally once the national final was over.

In the national final, held on 14 February, "Muistojeni laulu" was performed once with Marjatta Leppänen and once with Irmeli Mäkelä. After the final Yle organized an extra singing test to find the best vocalist for the song. Laila Halme, who originally had finished third in the national final, was chosen as the performer on 19 February.
