The current Miss Universo Chile is [[Inna Moll]] of [[Vitacura]], who was crowned in August 2025.<ref>{{Cite news |date=August 2, 2025 |title=Inna Moll, candidata de Vitacura, se impone en Miss Chile 2025: Representará al país en el Miss Universo |url=https://www.emol.com/noticias/Espectaculos/2025/08/02/1173889/vitacura-miss-chile-universo.html |work=Emol}}</ref>
==History== Between 1969 and 1995, ''Paula'' magazine was responsible for organizing the contest and maintaining the franchise;<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Pérez |first=Carlos Matías |date=27 January 2017 |title=El rey de las reinas |url=https://www.latercera.com/noticia/rey-las-reinas/# |work=www.latercera.com}}</ref> during this period, TVN broadcast the competition beginning in 1976. Between 1991 and 1994, ''Paula'' magazine and [[Canal 13 (Chilean TV network)|Canal 13]] jointly selected Miss Chile for Miss Universe and Miss World. Subsequently, a partnership between [[Caras (magazine)|''Caras'']] magazine and [[Mega (Chilean TV network)|''Megavisión'']] maintained the franchise in 1996 and 1997. [[Canal 13 (Chilean TV network)|Canal 13]] broadcast the pageant uninterruptedly from 1998 to 2002.
Luciano Marocchino had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but due to financial questions chose to not send a delegate during the 2007-2010 period. In 2011, Chile returned to the [[Miss Universe 2011|competition]] with Vanessa Ceruti. Marocchino's organization received much criticism, for not ensuring adequate preparation to the winners. He gave up the contest in 2015.
The national broadcaster, [[Chilevisión]] held the contest from 2016 up to 2018.<ref name=":0" />
In 2019, Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as National Director.
Chile placed 14 times in the semi-finals, with one Miss Universe winner [[Cecilia Bolocco]] in [[Miss Universe 1987|1987]].
