Den vilda (meaning "The wild one") is a winter-related song by Swedish band One More Time, written by Peter Grönvall [sv]. It won the Melodifestivalen 1996 and hence became the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1996, held in Oslo, Norway.[1]

The song was performed as the 23rd and last entry in the contest. At the close of the voting it had received 100 points and placed 3rd out of 23 entries. It also peaked at #7 on the Swedish Singles Chart.[2]
