Miss Languedoc (formerly Miss Languedoc-Roussillon) is a French beauty pageant which selects a representative for the Miss France national competition from the departments of Aude, Gard, Hérault and Lozère in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. Until 2023, the organization was known as Miss Languedoc-Roussillon and also represented the department of Pyrénées-Orientales, sometimes through the Miss Roussillon sister pageant, until the department's separation into the independent Miss Roussillon organization. The first Miss Languedoc-Roussillon was crowned in 1976, although several women have represented the region with various other titles.
The current Miss Languedoc is Jade Benazech, who was crowned Miss Languedoc 2024 on 10 August 2024. Three women from Languedoc have been crowned Miss France:
- Madeleine Mourgues, who was crowned Miss France 1929, competing as Miss Languedoc-Roussillon
- Myriam Stocco, who was crowned Miss France 1971, competing as Miss Languedoc-Roussillon
- Alexandra Rosenfeld, who was crowned Miss France 2006
