Miss Languedoc-Roussillon was a French beauty pageant which selected a representative for the Miss France national competition from the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. The first Miss Languedoc-Roussillon was crowned in 1928, although several women have represented the region with various other titles in the years since.

Since 2022, the region has been divided into the individual Miss Languedoc and Miss Roussillon regional pageants.

The current Miss Languedoc is Maxime Teissier, who was crowned Miss Languedoc 2023 on 4 August 2023, while the current Miss Roussillon is Élise Aquilina, who was crowned Miss Roussillon 2023 on 5 August 2023. Four women from Languedoc-Roussillon have been crowned Miss France:

  • Madeleine Mourgues, who was crowned Miss France 1929
  • Annie Garrigues, who was crowned Miss France 1938, competing as Miss Roussillon
  • Myriam Stocco, who was crowned Miss France 1971
  • Alexandra Rosenfeld, who was crowned Miss France 2006, competing as Miss Languedoc
