Miss Grand Ukraine is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Ukrainian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant. The titleholders from 2013 to 2015 were all appointed by the different franchise holders; no respective national pageant was held. Since 2016, the Miss Grand Ukraine titleholders have been elected through a national contest, Queen of Ukraine (), headquartered in Kyiv.
Since first partaking in 2013, Ukrainian representatives secured placements in Miss Grand International five times in total, the highest position is the final 10, which was reached in 2016 and 2017.
History Ukraine has always sent its representatives to compete at the Miss Grand International since 2013. Nonetheless, its first three representatives were all appointed to the title; no respective national pageant was held. In 2016, the license was transferred to Diva Fashion Group, the Queen of Ukraine () pageant organizer chaired by Natalia Kovaleva; the Ukrainian representatives have been selected through the mentioned national contest since then.
In 2022, due to the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War, the national contest of the Queen of Ukraine, which was usually held in Kyiv, was temporarily moved to Wiesbaden, Germany, where the pageant was organized on a smaller scale and aimed to raise funds to support displaced Ukrainian people in Germany. Since 2023, the titleholders were determined through virtual procedures instead of the actual pageant.
