**Miss Tahiti** is a [French Polynesian](/source/French_Polynesia) [beauty pageant](/source/Beauty_pageant) which selects a representative for the [Miss France](/source/Miss_France) national competition from the [overseas country](/source/Overseas_country_of_France) of [French Polynesia](/source/French_Polynesia). Despite its name, women from all of French Polynesia are eligible to compete, not solely those from [Tahiti](/source/Tahiti). Miss Tahiti has been held annually since 1960.
