Miss Roussillon is a French beauty pageant which selects a representative for the Miss France national competition from the department of Pyrénées-Orientales in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. While the first Miss Roussillon was crowned in 1937, the pageant had been organized irregularly until 2022, and was previously under the authority of the Miss Languedoc-Roussillon committee until the formation of the independent Miss Roussillon committee in 2024.
