The Miss Florida USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state Florida in the Miss USA pageant.
While Florida has been successful in terms of runners-up, finalists and semi-finalists, the state has never won the Miss USA pageant, although Cheryl Patton became Miss USA after Sylvia Hitchcock won Miss Universe.
Florida's best results were during the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Their most recent finalist was Brittany Oldehoff who placed 4th runner-up in 2014.
Two former Miss Florida Teen USA titleholders have won this competition, and three titleholders have also competed at Miss America.
