Croatia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with "Mama ŠČ!" performed by Let 3. The Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) organised the national final Dora 2023 to select the Croatian entry for the 2023 contest. The final took place on 11 February 2023, with a combination of jury voting and televoting selecting Let 3 to represent Croatia at the 2023 contest in Liverpool.
Croatia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2023 and was later selected to perform in position 7. At the end of the show, "Mama ŠČ!" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final.
