'''Miss Universe Slovakia''', formerly '''Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky''' ({{langx|en|Miss Universe Slovak Republic}}) or '''Miss Slovak Republic''' was an annual beauty pageant held in Slovakia to select the country's representative to the [[Miss Universe]] pageant from 1994 to 2022. Due to lack of preparation for the national pageant for Miss Universe. Miss Universe Slovak Republic is selected through Miss Slovensko, but remains under the auspices of Miss Management A.S. directorship since 2023. Since 2025, Pure Model Management took the directorship. The current titleholder is Petra Sivakova of Trnava region.

==History== A Slovak Republic representative was selected for Miss Slovensko for the debut after Silvia Lakatošová represented the country at the [[Miss Universe]] pageant. The Miss Slovensko contest was formed in 1993 after the dissolution of [[Czechoslovakia]]. From 1993 to 1995, the winner went to Miss Universe and the runners-up went to [[Miss World]] and [[Miss International]].

The Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky is organized and produced by Silvia Lakatošová. Lakatošová was the last [[Miss World Czech Republic#Titleholders|Miss Czechoslovakia]] and first [[Slovaks|Slovak]] representative at Miss Universe, where she was [[Miss Universe 1994#Placements|fifth]]. Lakatošová acquired the Miss Universe franchise in 1999 and began the ''Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky'' pageant.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

The Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky titleholders represented their country at Miss Universe, [[Miss Earth]] and Miss Intercontinental pageant until 2016. Since 2017 the organization is only taking the Miss Universe franchise.

In 2019 there was new format which called "Miss Česko-Slovensko" competition. this format collaborated to [[Czech Miss]] who also took the main winner to Miss Universe.

In 2023 the main owner decided to stop joining Miss Universe Organization. Later than that Miss Management A.S. took over the license of Miss Universe for the Slovak Republic. The winner is expected to compete in the Miss Universe competition. Later that year Lakatošová announced the end of Miss Universe Slovakia and her departure.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 August 2023 |title=SSkrachovaná Lakatošová: Po fiasku s Miss na sebe poriadne maká.
