Luxembourg was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 with the song "French: Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment|i=no", composed by Jack White, with lyrics by Fred Jay and Vline Buggy, and performed by Jürgen Marcus. The Luxembourgish participating broadcaster, the French: [[RTL Group|Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion]]|i=no (CLT), selected its entry through a national final.

The winner, "French: Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment|i=no" performed by Jürgen Marcus, was selected following the 50/50 combination of votes from an eight-member jury and the results of around 2,000 postcards submitted by the public, and was announced during a special broadcast on 21 February 1976.[2] [3] The jury consisted of French, German, English, and Luxembourgish-speaking presenters of Radio Luxembourg: André Torrent, Sam Bernett, Helga Guitton, Jochen Pützenbacher, Barry Alldis, Stewart Henry, Jeannine Theisen, and Raymond Tholl.[4]
