The '''Malta Song for Europe''' was an annual festival establish in 1991 to select the song that would be Malta's entry to the [[Eurovision Song Contest]].

The Maltese name for the event was Festival tal-Kanzunetta għall-Ewropa.

During the initial years, each song was presented both in Maltese and English, but it was the English-language entry that was the official version for the Eurovision Song Contest.

This event took displaced the [[Festival Internazzjonali tal-Kanzunetta Maltija]] when it was first presented, and also served as a revised version of the [[Malta Song Festival]]. It was therefore seen as a catch-all festival that served a number of different purposes, but the main aim was always to produce Malta's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest after 1991.

In 2008 the event was renamed [[Malta EuroSong]], but this name was only used for the 2009 and 2010 editions. The event has now evolved into the [[Malta Eurovision Song Contest]].
