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 Maxime Teissier, who was crowned Miss Languedoc 2023 on 4 August 2023. 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
