Portugal was present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, held in Bergen, Norway.

Before Eurovision

Festival da Canção 1986

The Portuguese national final to select their entry, the Festival RTP da Canção 1986, was held on 22 March at the Rádio e Televisão de Portugal Studios in Lisbon, and was hosted by Henrique Mendes and Maria Helena Fialho Gouveia, who hosted the very first Portuguese Contest in 1964.

Mendes and Fialho Gouveia introduced and made light commentary on the songs, which were taped in advance for the television audience. Each television region in Portugal (Ponta Delgada, Funchal, Porto and Lisbon) submitted three songs for this year's Festival. An "expert" jury decided the winner, and only the placement of the top three songs were made public.

The winning entry was one of the songs from Lisbon, "Não sejas mau para mim", performed by Dora and composed by Guilherme Inês, Zé Da Ponte, and Luís Manuel de Oliveira Fernandes.
