The Miss South Carolina competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of South Carolina in the Miss America pageant. The pageant was first held in Myrtle Beach and moved to Greenville starting in 1958 and remained in that city until the 90s. Spartanburg has hosted the pageant for the past several years. The pageant was televised since the 1960s until the 1998 pageant. Televising was resumed with the 2000 pageant.

With victories in both 1957 and 1994, South Carolina has twice won the Miss America crown.
