Miss Israel (also referred to as {{langx|he|מיס ישראל}}, {{Transliteration|he|Malkat HaYōfî}}, {{Literal translation|The Beauty Queen}}) was a national beauty pageant in Israel. The pageant was founded in 1950, where the winners were sent to Miss Universe.

History

In the late 1920s, a "Queen Esther Beauty Pageant" was held in Tel Aviv, centred on the holiday of Purim. The first Miss Israel took place in 1950, two years after Israel's independence.[https://www.timesofisrael.com/miss-israel-2017-the-social-media-beauty-queen/ Miss Israel 2017, The social media beauty queen]

From then onwards, Miss Israel was the national franchise holder for Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International. The pageant's official winner represented Israel at Miss Universe and the runners-up at Miss World, Miss International, and Miss Europe. The winner also occasionally competed at other international pageants, such as Miss World in 1953, 1968, 1992, 1996–1998; Miss International in 1963; Miss Asia Pacific International; and Miss Earth.

In 2022, the pageant was cancelled amid controversies over its relevance to modern social standards.{{cite news |newspaper=The Times of Israel |title=Miss Israel beauty pageant canceled after more than 70 years |date=November 13, 2022 |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/miss-israel-beauty-pageant-canceled-after-more-than-70-years/}}
