Lisa Marie Forbes (born in 1982) is a beauty queen from Overland Park, Kansas who has competed in the Miss USA pageant.

Forbes was crowned Miss Kansas USA 2004 on November 30, 2003, in Wichita, Kansas. She had previously competed in the pageant for five consecutive years, winning the interview award three times. She was a semi-finalist in 2003 and 2002, third runner-up in 2001 and a non-finalist in 2000. Forbes represented the "Sunflower State" at the Miss USA 2004 pageant in Los Angeles, California on April 12, 2004. The Miss USA 2004 Pageant was televised live on NBC.

Forbes, who was born in Olathe and moved to Overland Park at age five,[1] attended the University of Kansas where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies. [2] She also attended Blue Valley Northwest High School in the [[[Blue Valley School District]]].[3] She plans to pursue a career in either public relations or marketing, however, her dream job would be on television as a television host.[4]

Her biggest passion in life is American Quarter Horses, which she grew up riding, showing and training.[5] In October of 2000, Lisa represented the Northeast Kansas Quarter Horse Association in the All American Quarter Horse Congress Queen's Contest in Columbus, Ohio.[6]

In late 2004 she gave up her crown to the 2005 Miss Kansas USA winner Rachel Saunders. She later appeared on the Paris edition of reality television show The Bachelor, but was eliminated in the first round.
