Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965

Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song "Absent Friend", composed by Dag Wirén, with lyrics by Alf Henrikson, and performed by Ingvar Wixell. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through a national final titled Svensk sångfinal, after having previously selected the performer internally.

For the first time, one singer sang all the songs in the national final, and Ingvar was also the first male singer to represent Sweden. It was the first Eurovision entry that was not performed in the country's native language; this led to the introduction of a language restriction the following year. The song was originally titled "Annorstädes vals". At Eurovision, Sweden finished 10th out of 18.
