Switzerland entered the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 with Daisy Auvray and the song "Mister Music Man".
The Swiss broadcaster, SRG SSR idée suisse, hosted a national final to select the Swiss entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, held in Malmö, Sweden. The contest was held at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano on 23 February, hosted by Alessandra Marchese. 10 songs competed, with the winner decided through the votes of 3 regional juries, an expert jury and a press jury.
The winner of the contest was Geraldine Olivier with the song "Soleil, soleil".
