Greece has sent six entries to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, entering at the first contest 2003.

Greece's first entry was eight year old Nicolas Ganopoulos with the song "Fili gia panda", which came eighth for Greece. Greece's best entry in the contest was in 2005, when Alexandros and Kalli came sixth for Greece with "Tora einai i seira mas". Greece's worst entry was in 2007, when Made In Greece came 17th and last with only 14 points.

It was revealed in October 2008 that Greek broadcaster ERT was considering a withdrawal from the 2009 Contest after five years of participation due of the relatively low television ratings for the Contest and an objection to using children.[1] ERT officially withdrew in late April 2009 citing the economic crisis at the time as a factor.[2]
