Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 with two songs: "Messieurs les noyés de la Seine", composed by Jean Miret and Jack Say, with lyrics by Robert Montal, and performed by Fud Leclerc; and "Le Plus Beau Jour de ma vie", composed by Claude Alix, with lyrics by David Bée, and performed by Mony Marc. The Belgian participating broadcaster, the Institut national belge de radiodiffusion (INR), organised a national final to determine its two entries for the contest. "Messieurs les noyés de la Seine" was the first-ever entry from Belgium performed in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the first-ever entry in French in the contest.
Held on 15 April 1956, the national final saw ten songs compete to be the Belgian entries; the results were determined by the jury panel and postcard voting. The Belgian entries performed 3rd and 10th, respectively, out of the 14 entries competing in the contest.
