The Sanremo Music Festival 1959 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1959), officially the 9th Italian Song Festival (9º Festival della canzone italiana), was the ninth annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Sanremo Casino in Sanremo between 30 January and 1 February 1959. The show was presented by Enzo Tortora and Adriana Serra.[1][2]

According to the rules of this edition every song was performed in a double performance by a couple of singers or groups, with some artists performing multiple songs.[1] The winner of the festival was "Piove (Ciao, ciao bambina)", performed by Domenico Modugno (who was also the composer of the song) and Johnny Dorelli. The couple had already won the previous edition of the festival with "Nel blu, dipinto di blu".[1][3] Modugno went on to perform the song for Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1959.
