Miss Grand Venezuela is a Venezuelan female beauty pageant that has been held for the first time in 2022 to select the country's representatives to compete in its parent stage Miss Grand International,[1][2][3][4] in which Venezuela acquired the main title once in 2019, won by a 19-year-old model from Anzoátegui, Valentina Figuera.[5] Another highlight achievement is the first runner-up, obtained in 2017 by Tulia Alemán of Falcón.[6]

Venezuela's representatives always got placement at Miss Grand International,[6] except for 2020,[7] however, during 2013 - 2021, all such representatives were appointed instead of organizing the Miss Grand national contest.[6][8] The first edition of Miss Grand Venezuela was held in August 2022 in Caracas.[2]

The current Miss Grand Venezuela is Valentina Martínez of Anzoátegui who was crowned on 13 August 2022, at the Teatro Municipal of Caracas in Caracas, Venezuela.[9]
