The Miss Rhode Island Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Rhode Island in the Miss Teen USA pageant.

Rhode Island has placed five times at the Miss Teen USA Pageant, most recently in 2007 when Rochelle Rose made the top 10. The state's first finalist was Shaelyn McNally in 2006. One of those semi-finalists was Shanna Moakler, who would later win the Miss New York USA pageant and take the Miss USA title when Chelsi Smith won Miss Universe.

Other notable Miss Rhode Island Teen USAs are Claudia Jordan, who was also Miss Rhode Island USA 1997 and has appeared on The Price is Right and Deal or No Deal and Gina Tognoni, known for her portrayal of Kelly Cramer on the soap opera One Life to Live from 1995 to 2001 and her appearance as Dinah Marler on CBS's Guiding Light.
