Miss Chinese ( Vancouver ) Pageant (Chinese: 溫哥華華裔小姐競選) or MCV for short is an annual beauty pageant organized by Fairchild Television that selects Vancouver's representative for the annual Miss Chinese International Pageant that is held in Hong Kong, organized by TVB. The pageant replaced the Miss Vancouver Chinatown Pageant, which selected Vancouver's representatives to the Miss Chinese International Pageant from 1988 to 1995.

The pageant began in 1995 with 13 delegates. The next year the number of delegates reduced to 12. And in the year 2000, the number reduced again to 10. These delegates are residents of Vancouver, Canada, must have some Chinese descent and be between the ages of 17 and 25. The pageant is held at the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre in December of every year. However, in 2009 the location was moved to the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia due to the media currently taking place at the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games.
There are several components and competitions that the pageant usually contains:-
MCV is one of two major productions for Fairchild Television Vancouver ( the other being New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition ) and has had many local and Asian celebrities and performing groups involved. The following is a list of past MCs and special performing guests.

Vancouver has generally been fairly successful at the Miss Chinese International Pageant (MCI) despite not placing in the top 3 until 1993, when Miss Vancouver Chinatown 1992, Elaine Tse finished as 2nd runner up. In 2001, Miss Chinese Vancouver produced Vancouver's first MCI winner, Bernice Liu. Liu later joined TVB and is currently an actress. She was succeeded by Shirley Zhou in 2002. Linda Chung and Leanne Li then both won the Miss Chinese International 2004 and 2005 titles, represectively. Vancouver has produced 5 winners and including two back-to-back wins (2001 and 2002; 2004 and 2005), a record no other city has yet to break.
Note: The winners from 1987 to 1994 (competing at Miss Chinese International 1988 to 1995) are Miss Vancouver Chinatown, the pageant that was replaced by MCV.
