Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012

Portugal was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Vida minha" written by Andrej Babić and Carlos Coelho, and performed by Filipa Sousa. The Portuguese participating broadcaster, Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), organised the national final Festival da Canção 2012 in order to select its entry for the contest. The competition took place on 10 March 2012 where "Vida minha" performed by Filipa Sousa emerged as the winner after achieving the highest score following the combination of votes from twenty regional juries and a public televote.

Portugal was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 24 May 2012. Performing during the show in position 6, "Vida minha" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Portugal placed thirteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 39 points.
