Miss Grand New Zealand is a national female beauty pageant title awarded to New Zealand representatives competing in the Miss Grand International pageant. The first titleholder was Rachel Hope Crofts, who previously won the Miss Model of the World New Zealand in the Miss World New Zealand 2013 pageant. Rachel represented New Zealand in the first Miss Grand International in Thailand but was unplaced.
From 2014 to 2019, the country representatives for Miss Grand International were either directly elected through the Miss World New Zealand pageant, or assigned one of the runners-up to the title. The contract between Miss World New Zealand and Miss Grand International was discontinued in late 2019 after declining to send a New Zealand candidate to partake in the 2019 international tournament in Venezuela due to security concerns. Since then, no New Zealand representatives at the Miss Grand International.
After six consecutive years of participating from 2013 to 2018, New Zealand representatives have never obtained any placements in Miss Grand International.
