C'Est Peut-Être Pas L'Amérique (English translation: "It May Not Be America") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981, performed in French by Jean-Claude Pascal.

The song is in praise of Europe and its lifestyle, with Pascal singing that "America isn't everything" and explaining that he prefers the winds of southern France and the music he hears there.

The song was performed fourth on the night (following Germany's Lena Valaitis with Johnny Blue and preceding Israel's Hakol Over Habibi with Halayla). At the close of voting, it had received 41 points, placing 11th in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1982 Contest by Svetlana with Cours Après Le Temps.
