The Sanremo Music Festival 1994 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1994), officially the 44th Italian Song Festival (44º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 44th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, province of Imperia, in the late February 1994 and broadcast by Rai 1.

The show was presented by Pippo Baudo, who also served as the artistic director, with singer Anna Oxa and model Cannelle. Antonella Clerici hosted the segments with the juries.[1][2]

The winner of the Big Artists section was Aleandro Baldi with the ballad "Passerà", while Giorgio Faletti ranked second and won the Critics Award with "Signor tenente", an anti-mafia rap song inspired by massacres of Capaci and Via D'Amelio. Andrea Bocelli won the Newcomers section with the song "Il mare calmo della sera".[1]

After every night Rai 1 broadcast DopoFestival, a talk show about the Festival with the participation of singers and journalists. It was hosted by Mara Venier and Pippo Baudo with Renato Zero and Roberto D'Agostino.[1][2]
