Bosnia and Herzegovina has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 19 times since making its debut in 1993, after coming second in the qualification round "Kvalifikacija za Millstreet". The current Bosnian-Herzegovinian participant broadcaster in the contest is the Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT).

Bosnia and Herzegovina's best result was in 2006, when "Lejla" performed by Hari Mata Hari finished third. This remains the country's only top five result in the contest. The country also achieved five other top ten results: 1999 with "Putnici" by Dino Merlin (seventh), 2004 with "In the Disco" by Deen (ninth), 2008 with "Pokušaj" by Laka (tenth), 2009 with "Bistra voda" by Regina (ninth), and 2011 with "Love in Rewind" again by Dino Merlin (sixth). Bosnia and Herzegovina returned to the contest for the first time since 2012 at the 2016 contest, where it failed to advance from the semi-finals for the first time. The country then withdrew once again from the contest and has yet to return.
