'''Miss Lithuania''' ({{langx|lt|Mis Lietuva}}) is a national [[Beauty pageant]] in [[Lithuania]].
==History== [[Image:Miss Lithuania Jurgita Jurkute.jpg|thumb|200px|Miss Lithuania 2007 Jurgita Jurkutė]] Miss Lithuania began in 1988, and Lithuania debuted at the [[Miss World 1993]] competition. The pageant traditionally broadcast live on "Lietuvos rytas TV". Since 2012, the Miss Lithuania Organization sends the second title to the [[Miss Universe]] pageant. The Miss Lithuania pageant organizes by Benas Gudelis in Vilnius, Lithuania. Due to a lack of sponsorship, the contest was cancelled in 2015 and not held since, nor any representatives sent to international pageants.{{cn|date=May 2026}}
In 2019 Edward Walson took over the franchise of Miss Universe in Lithuania by holding a Miss Universe Lithuania competition. Walson owned Miss Universe Italy and Miss Universo Portugal between 2016 and 2017.{{cn|date=May 2026}}
