Ukraine has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 19 times since making its debut in 2003. The current Ukrainian participant broadcaster in the contest is the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC/Suspilne), which has selected its entrant with the national competition Vidbir in recent years. Ukraine has won the contest three times: in 2004 with "Wild Dances" by Ruslana, in 2016 with "1944" by Jamala, and in 2022 with "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, thus becoming the first country in the 21st century and the first Eastern European country to win the contest three times. The 2005 and 2017 contests were held in Kyiv, while the 2023 contest was held in Liverpool, United Kingdom, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Ukraine is one of the only two countries outside of the "Big Five" to have qualified for the final of every contest they have competed,^[a] and has been placed outside the top-ten only six times.^[1] Ukraine has a total of nine top-five placements, with "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" by Verka Serduchka (2007) and "Shady Lady" by Ani Lorak (2008) both finishing second, "Gravity" by Zlata Ognevich (2013) as well as "Teresa & Maria" by Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil (2024) third, "Angel" by Mika Newton fourth (2011), and "Shum" by Go_A fifth (2021), in addition to its wins. The only countries with more top-five results in the 21st century are Sweden (13) and Russia (10).
