The Miss New Jersey competition is an annual pageant held to select the representative for the state of New Jersey in the Miss America pageant.

Two Miss New Jersey winners have gone on to hold the title of Miss America: Bette Cooper who won in 1937 and Suzette Charles who did not win, but took over the title for the last 7 weeks of Vanessa Williams's reign in 1984. They also have one unofficial Miss America: Dorothy Hann (1932).

In the fall of 2018, the Miss America Organization terminated the Miss New Jersey organization's license as well as licenses from Florida, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.[1][2] On December 26, 2018; MAO reinstated the license for the Miss New Jersey organization for one year, contingent on leadership changes and the recruitment of new sponsors and board members.[3]

Augostina Mallous of Cape May Court House was crowned Miss New Jersey 2022 on June 25, 2022, at the Superstar Theater in the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She competed for the title of Miss America 2023 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut in December 2022.
