The Eurovision Young Musicians 1994 was the 7th edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians. It consisted of two semi-finals on 9 and 10 June and a final on 14 June 1994, held at the Philharmonic Concert Hall in Warsaw, Poland. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP). The Warsaw Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kazimierz Kord accompanied all competing performers.

Musicians representing twenty-four countries took part in the competition, with eight of them participating in the televised final. Out of the 24 countries, 16 did not qualify to the final, including the host country Poland. Seven countries made their début, while Greece returned, the Netherlands withdrew, and Yugoslavia being banned from entering the 1994 contest. It is, to date, the contest with the most contestants. It was the first of the Eurovision family of events to feature representatives from Latvia and the Republic of Macedonia, who would make their débuts at the flagship Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 and 1998 (after an attempted début in 1996), respectively.

The winner was cellist Natalie Clein representing the United Kingdom, with pianist Liene Circene representing Latvia placing second, and violinist Malin Broman representing Sweden placing third.[1]

The director of the institution is Wojciech Nowak.[3][4] It is the main venue of the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra.
