The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 with the song "Vrede", composed by Eric van Tijn and Jochem Fluitsma, with lyrics by Henk Westbroek, and performed by Ruth Jacott. The Dutch participating broadcaster, Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), selected its entry for the contest through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally.

Eight songs competed in the national final on 26 March 1993 where "Vrede" was selected as the winning song following the votes from twelve regional juries.
