Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 with the song "Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig", written by Peter Himmelstrand, and performed by Claes-Göran Hederström.

The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 1968.

The entry finished 5th (out of 17) with 15 points, including 6 from Norway, the highest number of votes awarded that year.

It was the ninth time that Sveriges Radio (SR) used this system of picking a song.

The final was held in the Cirkus in Stockholm on 9 March 1968, hosted by Magnus Banck and was broadcast on Sveriges Radio TV but was not broadcast on radio.
