Miss Grand Peru

Miss Grand Peru is a national beauty pageant title bestowed upon a woman chosen to represent Peru at the annual international pageant, Miss Grand International. The title was first mentioned in 2014 when a finalist of Miss World Peru 2014, Sophía Venero, was appointed to represent the country at the Miss Grand International 2014 in Thailand. Since 2016, to date, the license of Miss Grand Peru has been belonging to the event organizer headed by Jessica Newton, Grupo D'Elite. Previously, the license belonged to a medical doctor and lawyer, Hanssel Vega.

Since its first participation in 2014, Peru won the Miss Grand International twice; in 2017 and 2023 by María José Lora and Luciana Fuster, respectively. Peru also won the Best National Costume awards in 2018, 2021 and 2022.

In the first decades, the Peruvian representatives for the Miss Grand International contest were either hand-picked or determined through a sub-contest of another national pageant, Miss Perú, which was also managed by the same organizer, Grupo D'Elite. Later in 2023, the event to select Miss Grand Peru titleholder was planned to be held individually for the first time; the event was scheduled to be happened in Lima, 12 national finalists were expected to participate.

In 2020, the original country representative at the Miss Grand International 2020 pageant who obtained the title the Miss Perú 2019, Samantha Batallanos, was removed from the title by the national licensee; not well prepared for the international was claimed, and a professional model named Maricielo Gamarra was then appointed as the replacement. However, Samantha was later appointed to participate in the next international edition the following year.

The Miss Grand Peru pageant has been a stand-alone pageant since 2023.
