The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 with the song "Waar is de zon" composed by Edwin Schimscheimer, with lyrics by Coot van Doesburgh, and performed by Willeke Alberti. 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.

NOS announced Alberti's appointment as its representative on 2 November 1993, while it organised the national final Nationaal Songfestival 1994 in order to select the song. Eight songs competed in the national final on 26 March 1994 where "Waar is de zon" was selected as the winning song following the votes from twelve regional juries.

The Netherlands competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 30 April 1994. Performing during the show in position 13, the Netherlands placed twenty-third out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 4 points.
