Miss Paraguay is a national beauty pageant in Paraguay established in 1915. It currently selects Paraguay's representatives for the Miss Intercontinental and Reinado Internacional del Café pageants.
The current Miss Paraguay is Celeste Cibils of Itapúa, who was crowned on December 6, 2025 at the Hotel Guaranàin Asunción.
In 1915, Arsenio López Decoud, then president of the Unión Club, organized the first beauty pageant held in Paraguay. The event took place in the spring of that year at the then National TheaterâÂÂnow the Ignacio A. Pane Municipal TheaterâÂÂand was won by 19-year-old MarÃÂa Anselma Clotilde "Anselmita" Heyn Denis. The pageant was revived in 1957 at the initiative of the government of Alfredo Stroessner, with the support of the Secretariat of Tourism.
In 1970, the contest was organized by Dinam Publicidad and took place in the Presidential Hall of the Hotel GuaranÃÂ.
In 1990, Guillermo Rolón assumed leadership of the pageant together with Sistema Nacional de Televisión (SNT). In 2001, the license to send representatives to the Miss Universe competition was relinquished due to the loss of sponsors amid an economic crisis. As a result, Paraguay did not participate in the 2002 and 2003 editions of the competition.
In March 2017, the Chamber of Deputies declared the pageant to be of cultural interest. The editions corresponding to the years 2020 and 2021 were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, in July 2022, the competition was again suspended following the death of Rolón, president of the organization. Since then, the organization has been led by his widow, Graciela Venialgo.
