The Miss Montana competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the U.S. state of Montana in the Miss America pageant.{{cite news |first=Erin |last=Cole |newspaper=Flathead Beacon |location=Kalispell, MT |title=An Uphill Climb for Miss Montana |url=http://flatheadbeacon.com/2010/07/06/an-uphill-climb-for-miss-montana/ |date=July 6, 2010 |access-date=February 3, 2015}}

Unlike most state pageants in the Miss America system, Montana does not use preliminary local pageants to limit entrants to the state-level competition. They accept at large contestants after an application and interview process.

Kaylee Wolfensberger of Bozeman was crowned Miss Montana 2024 on July 13, 2024, at the Montana State University Billings Petro Theater. She will compete for the title of Miss America 2025.
