Puteri Indonesia (Javanese: (Hanacaraka) ꦦꦸꦠꦺꦫꦶ​ꦆꦤ꧀ꦢꦺꦴꦤꦺꦱ; lit. 'Princess of Indonesia') is a national beauty pageant in Indonesia.[6] Puteri Indonesia is traditionally held in March, alongside the celebration of International Women's Day.[7][8][9] The pageant annually sends its representative to compete at Miss International, one of the Big Four international beauty pageants. The pageant also sends representatives for Miss Supranational, Miss Charm, and Miss Cosmo pageants.

Aside from crowning the winner of the pageant, Puteri Indonesia Organization also crowns the first, second, and third runner-up as Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan, Puteri Indonesia Pariwisata, and Puteri Indonesia Pendidikan & Kebudayaan, respectively.[3]
