Miriam Christine Borg (born 30 June 1978) is a Maltese pop and rhythm and blues singer [citation needed] best known for representing Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996.

She was born in Santo Antônio do Descoberto,a small city near Brasília in Brazil, but was adopted and raised on the Mediterranean island of Gozo. She took part in various singing festivals before winning the Song for Europe Festival [citation needed] and representing Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 with the song "In a Woman's Heart". On the night of the contest, held in Oslo, she was backed by 3 vocalists-one of whom was Georgina Abela, the wife of the composer and a former contestant. In the beginning of the voting Malta was among the top 5 but gradually fell to 10th place with 68 points.

Miriam Christine remains active as a singer in her home country, performing in weddings and on local television shows. In 2008 she formed the Gozo Children's Choir [citation needed] and performed during the Malta Gay Pride celebrations.[citation needed]
