"Messieurs Les Noyés De La Seine" (English translation: "The Drowned Men Of The River Seine") was the first Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956, performed in French by Fud Leclerc.

The song was performed third on the night (following Switzerland's Lys Assia with "Das Alte Karussell" and preceding Germany's Walter Andreas Schwarz with "Im Wartesaal Zum Großen Glück"). The scoreboard for the 1956 Contest has never been made public, so it is impossible to say with certainty where the song placed.

The song is in the "chanson" style typical of the early years of the Contest, with Leclerc opining that he is trapped in a loveless marriage and wishes to drown himself in the Seine.

Due to the rules of the 1956 Contest allowing two entries per country, the song was succeeded as Belgian representative by Mony Marc singing "Le Plus Beau Jour De Ma Vie".
