Miss Lebanon - Lebanon's Official National Beauty Pageant (Arabic: انتخابات ملكة جمال لبنان) is a beauty contest in Lebanon. It is broadcast on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBCI), since 1991. It is currently organised with the Lebanese Tourism Services. The pageant has been cancelled a few times due civil wars, conflicts with Israel and lack of protection for the delegates. The official winner will represent Lebanon at the Miss Universe pageant.
