Miss Grand Myanmar (Burmese: ငြိမ်းချမ်းရေးအလှမယ် မြန်မာ) is an annual female national beauty pageant of Myanmar, founded in 2016 by Yangon-based event organizer Style Plus H.[1] Previously, from 2013 to 2014, the license belonged to the Miss Golden Land Myanmar organization,[2][3] and then it was under the proprietary of the Miss Universe Myanmar organizer, Hello Madam, during 2017  2020.[4][5] Since 2021, the Glamorous International, headed by a Burmese overseas in Thailand, Htoo Ant Lwin, has been responsible for sending Myanmar delegates to compete at Miss Grand International.[6][7]

Since its first participation in 2013, Myanmar has never won the Miss Grand International but holds a record of 5 placements in such; the highest position is the first runner-up, obtained by Ni Ni Lin Eain in 2023.[8][9][10]

The reigning Miss Grand Myanmar is Thae Su Nyein of Taungoo, who was crowned on 10 December 2023 at Hexagon Complex in Yangon. She won the second runner-up at the Miss Grand International 2024 contest but was later revoked on October 28, 2024, due to the conflict between the national and international organizers.

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International in 2013, Myanmar has always sent its representatives to compete at such every year. However, its first three candidates from 2013 to 2015 were either handpicked or determined through the "Miss Golden Land Myanmar" pageant.[2][3] Later in 2016, the first competition of Miss Grand Myanmar was conducted after the Yangon-based event organizer Style Plus H had obtained the license,[1] the contest was held at City Hall of Pyin Oo Lwin, featuring 24 national finalists, of which, Nandar Lwin from Yangon was named the winner and no contest was additionally held since then, the license was transferred to different organizers.[4][5][6][7]

During 2017  2020, Miss Universe Myanmar Organization was responsible for selecting the representatives of Myanmar for Miss Grand international pageants. At that time, the 1st Runner-Up of Miss Universe Myanmar represented the country in Miss Grand International.[4][5] Since 2021, the Glamorous International, chaired by Htoo Ant Lwin, has been responsible for selecting and sending Myanmar representatives to the international stage.[6][7]

Since 2024, several regional pageants have been held to determine their representatives for the national contest, as listed below.
