Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971

Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 with the song "Vita vidder", written by Håkan Elmquist, and performed by Family Four. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 1971.

SR did not compete in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, as a protest against that four countries shared the victory the preceding contest. It was, however, back for the 1971 contest. SR held five semi-finals to select its 1971 entry, with the same three competitors in all of them, as part of the popular television show Hylands hörna. The group Family Four won all of the semi-finals, and therefore sung all the songs in the final. The song "Vita vidder", written by Håkan Elmquist, won and represented Sweden at Eurovision, held in Dublin.
