The Sanremo Music Festival 1969 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1969), officially the 19th Italian Song Festival (19º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 19th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Sanremo Casino in Sanremo between 30 January and 1 February 1969[1] and presented by Nuccio Costa and Gabriella Farinon.[1]

According to the rules of this edition every song was performed in a double performance by a couple of singers or groups.[1] The winners of the festival were Bobby Solo and Iva Zanicchi with the song "Zingara".[1] Zanicchi was thus selected to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, with "Due grosse lacrime bianche".
