The Eurovision Song Contest 1972 was the 17th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom and was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), who agreed to stage the event after the Monégasque broadcaster Télé Monte Carlo (TMC), who won in {{escyr|1971}}, was unable to meet the demands of hosting the event and could not find a suitable venue. The contest was held at the Usher Hall on 25 March 1972 and was hosted by Scottish ballet dancer Moira Shearer. Eighteen countries took part in the contest, the same number as the previous year.
This contest marked the first time that the event was hosted in Scotland. Prior to 1972, when the BBC hosted the contest in {{Escyr|1960}}, {{Escyr|1963}}, and {{Escyr|1968}}, it had always chosen a venue in London. However, for the Eurovision Song Contest 1972, the BBC broke this trend and chose to host the competition in the Scottish capital, marking the first time that London had not been chosen. The 1972 contest also marked the first time that the event was broadcast live in Asia, with viewers in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Thailand able to watch the show on television for the first time. The 1972 contest also marked the first time that a video wall was used to present song titles and artists prior to their performance.
The winner was {{Esccnty|Luxembourg|y=1972}} with the song "{{lang|fr|Après toi|i=unset}}", performed by Vicky Leandros, with lyrics by Yves Dessca, and music composed by Mario Panas (which was the writing pseudonym of Vicky's father Leo Leandros). "{{lang|fr|Après toi|i=unset}}" became the winner with the lowest percentage of the total vote, winning with just 8.30% of the votes available. Yves Dessca also wrote "{{lang|fr|Un banc, un arbre, une rue|i=unset}}" that had won the previous edition, and became the second person to win the contest twice, the first person to win for two different countries and the first person to win two years in a row.O'Connor, John Kennedy. The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History. Carlton Books, UK. 2007 {{ISBN|978-1-84442-994-3}} {{Esccnty|Germany}} finished in third place for the third consecutive year, equalling their highest placement from the previous two editions.

Following {{Esccnty|Monaco}}'s win at the {{escyr|1971||1971 contest}} in Dublin, with the song "{{lang|fr|Un banc, un arbre, une rue|i=unset}}" performed by Séverine, the winning broadcaster Télé Monte Carlo (TMC) planned to organise the 1972 contest as an open-air event, setting the date in June rather than early spring.{{cite web|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/seeking-out-more-about-the-1972-contest|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107130125/https://eurovision.tv/story/seeking-out-more-about-the-1972-contest|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 November 2017|title=Seeking out more about the 1972 contest? | News | Eurovision Song Contest |publisher=Eurovision.tv |date=25 March 2014 |access-date=29 October 2016}} However, due to a lack of funding, TMC sought help from the French public broadcaster, {{lang|fr|Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française|i=no}} (ORTF), which accepted to organise the contest. Because TMC wanted the contest to be held in Monaco while ORTF wanted it in France, negotiations never came through.{{Cite book|title=The Eurovision Song Contest. 50 Years. The Official History|author=John Kennedy O'Connor|publisher=Carlton Books Limited|location=London|year=2005|page=48}} In July 1971, TMC informed the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) that it was unable to organise the 1972 contest. The EBU asked {{esccnty|Spain}}'s {{lang|es|Televisión Española|i=no}} (TVE) and {{esccnty|Germany}}'s ARD, which respectively finished second and third at the 1971 contest, but both broadcasters declined to host the 1972 contest.{{cite news |title=BBC organiseert songfestival '72 |trans-title=BBC to host Eurovision Song Contest '72 |url=https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=MMSARO03:259087018:mpeg21:p00007 |access-date=19 February 2025 |work=Het Rotterdams Parool |date=21 September 1971 |language=nl |location=Rotterdam, Netherlands |page=7 |via=Delpher}}
The event was eventually organised by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Edinburgh, making it the first of five times that the BBC had chosen a venue outside London with the {{escyr|1974}}, {{escyr|1982}}, {{escyr|1998}}, and {{escyr|2023}} contests held in Brighton, Harrogate, Birmingham, and Liverpool respectively. It is also the only time that the contest has been held in Scotland.{{cite web |title=Edinburgh 1972 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/edinburgh-1972 |website=eurovision.tv |access-date=17 July 2024}} It is the only Eurovision Song Contest hosted in the United Kingdom to have been held outside England.
The Usher Hall, the venue for the 1972 contest, is a concert hall, situated on Lothian Road, in the west end of the city. It has hosted concerts and events since its construction in 1914 and can hold approximately 2,900{{cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/149973|title=Geograph:: The Usher Hall, Edinburgh (C) Kevin Rae|website=geograph.org.uk}} people in its recently restored auditorium, which is well loved by performers due to its acoustics. The Hall is flanked by The Royal Lyceum Theatre on the right and The Traverse Theatre on the left. Historic Scotland has registered the Hall with Category A listed building status.

Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span>
Each participating broadcaster appointed two jury members, one aged between 16 and 25 and one aged between 26 and 55, with at least 10 years between their ages. They each scored each song between 1 and 5, other than the song of their own country. They cast their scores immediately after each song was performed and the votes were then collected and counted. For the public voting sequence after the interval act, the jury members were shown on the stage's screen with each lifting a signboard with the number between 1 and 5 for each song, as a visual verification of the scores they had awarded earlier.
