Miss Indigenous Canada is a national beauty pageant in Canada exclusively for women of Indigenous Canadian background. Women of First Nations, Inuit and Métis background represent their communities in a competition which focuses on their character, community service, cultural involvement, and ambassadorship for their communities.

Four categories are performed: interview, personal essay, traditional presentation and community presentation. The highest scorers are then placed in a final question competition to determine the winner. The inaugural winner for the 2024 competition was Jessica McKenzie of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation.
