The Miss District of Columbia Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the District of Columbia in the Miss Teen USA pageant.

With only five semi-finalist placings and one runner-up, the District of Columbia is one of the least successful states at Miss Teen USA. One of those semi finalists, Miss District of Columbia Teen USA 2000 Tiara Dews, was one of only three District of Columbia teens to win the Miss District of Columbia USA crown.

Sarah Eyasu of Clarksville, MD was crowned Miss District of Columbia Teen USA 2025 on September 6, 2025, at Seneca Valley High School in Germantown. She represented District of Columbia at Miss Teen USA 2025.
