Pomme, Pomme, Pomme (English translation: "Apple, Apple, Apple") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971, performed in French by Monique Melsen.

The song is an up-tempo number dealing - as the title suggests - with Melsen eating an apple. Doing so reminds her that it is Spring, which causes her to wonder if she will find love during that season, or whether she will only find "the snake". She appears not to mind overmuch, singing that she is "not even twenty yet".

The song was performed eighth on the night (following France's Serge Lama with Un Jardin Sur La Terre and preceding the United Kingdom's Clodagh Rodgers with Jack In The Box). At the close of voting, it had received 70 points, placing 13th in a field of 18.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1972 Contest by Vicky Leandros with Après Toi.
