The Miss Mississippi Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Mississippi in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
With only five placements, Mississippi has not been very successful in the national competition, although Kristi Addis did win the Miss Teen USA crown in 1987. Mississippi performed best in the late 1980s and 1990s, but has not placed since 1998. The state has won three Miss Congeniality awards though, one of only two states to accomplish this.
Three Mississippi teens have won the Miss Mississippi USA pageant and competed at Miss USA.
The pageant is directed by Miss Tennessee USA 1989: Kim Greenwood.
