"Een Speeldoos" (English translation: "A Musical Box") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, performed in Dutch by Annie Palmen.

The song describes the romance between a shepherd and a shepherdess - both of whom are figures on a music box. Palmen explains that, even when the music was played, the duo could not move any closer to each other. After the supernatural intervention of "a fairy", the two became a couple.

The song was performed second on the night (following the United Kingdom's Ronnie Carroll with Say Wonderful Things To Me and preceding Germany's Heidi Brühl with Marcel). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded "nul points", earning the Netherlands the unwanted distinction of failing to score in two consecutive years. The song shared last place in a field of 16 with Finland's Laila Halme with Muistojeni laulu, Norway's Anita Thallaug with Solvherv and Sweden's Monica Zetterlund with En Gång I Stockholm.

It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1964 Contest by Anneke Grönloh with Jij Bent Mijn Leven.
