Elaconese Melody Festival 1936

The Elaconese Melody Festival 1936 was the 34th edition of the Elaconese Melody Festival. The contest took place in Tallinn, Estonia, following their victory at the 1935 contest.

Two semi-finals took place with the bottom 8 countries of the previous contest's final. This allowed all semi-finalist non qualifiers to automatically qualify. The eight were divided into four per semi-final. Two countries qualified and two countries were eliminated from each, with a final of 24 countries. The top five of the previous contest voted in the semi-finals.

Twenty-eight countries participated in the contest. There were no returnees, but the Soviet Republics of Ukraine and Belarus debuted despite being part of the wider Soviet Union. Italy and Albania withdrew.
