Miss Brittany (French: Miss Bretagne) is a French beauty pageant which selects a representative for the Miss France national competition from the region of Brittany. Women representing the region under various different titles have competed at Miss France since 1920, although the Miss Brittany title was not used regularly until 1981. Until 2010, women from the department of Loire-Atlantique were eligible to compete in Miss Brittany, due to the department's historical ties to the region, despite currently being located within the region of Pays de la Loire.

The current Miss Brittany is Noémie Le Bras, who was crowned Miss Brittany 2023 on 29 September 2023. Six women from Brittany have gone on to win Miss France.

  • Raymonde Allain, who was crowned Miss France 1928, competing as Miss Côte d'Émeraude
  • Jacqueline Janet, who was crowned Miss France 1937, competing as Miss Côte d'Émeraude
  • Brigitte Barazer de Lannurien, who was crowned Miss France 1960, competing as Miss Côte d'Émeraude
  • Michèle Wargnier, who was crowned Miss France 1961
  • Monique Lemaire, who was crowned Miss France 1962, competing as Miss Côte d'Émeraude
  • Laury Thilleman, who was crowned Miss France 2011
