{{transliteration|uk|Natsionalnyi vidbir}} ({{langx|uk|Національний відбір}}, {{IPA|uk|nɐts⁽ʲ⁾ioˈnɑlʲnɪj wid⁽ʲ⁾ˈbir|IPA}}; meaning "National selection"), informally known as {{transliteration|uk|Vidbir}}, is a Ukrainian musical competition originally organized by Suspilne and STB, which determines the Ukrainian representative at the Eurovision Song Contest. In late August 2021, it was announced that the two broadcasters had terminated their partnership, and that Suspilne was looking for a new selection format for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, thus bringing an end to the original concept for Vidbir.{{cite web|last=Mori|first=Yevheniy|url=https://suspilne.media/159544-suspilne-movlenna-zaversue-spivpracu-z-stb-v-provedenni-nacvidboru-na-evrobacenna/|title=Суспільне мовлення завершує співпрацю з СТБ в проведенні нацвідбору на Євробачення|work=suspilne.media|publisher=Suspilne|language=uk|date=30 August 2021|access-date=24 September 2021}} In October 2021, Suspilne announced that the 2022 edition of Vidbir would be organized by it alone under a new format.{{Cite press release|date=8 October 2021|title=Суспільне самостійно проведе Нацвідбір Євробачення.

In the first year of the show, the local record by SMS voting was set by receiving 344,268 unique votes, 37.77% of which supported Jamala,{{cite web|url=https://eurovision.stb.ua/ua/2016/02/21/detalnye-rezultaty-zritelskogo-golosovaniya-evrovideniya-2016-final/|access-date=23 Feb 2018|language=uk|title=Results of the SMS voting on Vidbir 2016}} who eventually became the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
