Miss Grand Jaén is a Spanish provincial female beauty pageant, held annually since 2017, to select representatives from the Province of Jaén for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.
Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Jaén's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the second runner-up in 2019, won by Miriam Herrera Juan.
History After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license of Miss Grand Spain in 2015, he began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name the provincial representatives to compete in the national pageant the following year. In the province of Jaén, the license was granted to the Como Tú Eventos company directed by Mercedes Latorre and Paqui Crespo, who organized the first provincial pageant of Miss Grand Jaén on 9 July 2017, at the Hotel RL Ciudad de Úbeda, Úbeda, where an 18-year-old from Villacarrillo, Alba Maria Lara, was named the winner.
In 2022, Aroa Rodríguez became the first transgender to participate in the Miss Grand Jaén pageant.
