'''Miss Tunisie''' is a national [[Beauty pageant]] in [[Tunisia]]. The pageant produced titleholders of Tunisia at [[Miss Universe]], [[Miss World]], [[Miss International]] and [[Miss Earth]] pageants.
==History== [[File:Miss Tunisie 1956.jpg|thumb|Pascaline Agnes became the first woman from Tunisia to participate in Miss World 1956]] Miss Tunisie was held for first time in 1956. The pageant became the national franchise of [[Miss World]] in 1956–present, [[Miss Universe]] in 1960 - 1971, and [[Miss International]] in 1960–present. In 1996, President of Association TEJ - Aida Antar revived the defunct Miss Tunisie contest and is now the official trademark owner.
In 2013, Association TEJ declared to return at [[Miss World]] pageant for the first time since 1978. The pageant was held in [[Jakarta]], [[Indonesia]] where for the first time the pageant did not allow the bikini session for only that year.<ref>[https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/africa/miss-tunisia-pageant-makes-comeback-for-first-time-since-uprising-aiming-to-open-minds-1.393551/ Miss Tunisia Returned at Miss World]</ref>
