The Miss Oregon USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Oregon in the Miss USA pageant and the name of the title held by that winner. It is currently produced by Pageant NW Productions based in Puyallup, Washington and is previously produced by ABC Pageant Productions based in Bend, Oregon until 2015.

Oregon has only had limited success at Miss USA and has yet to win the title. The highest placed Miss Oregon USA was Gail Atchison who finished 2nd runner-up to Barbara Peterson in 1976. The most recent finalist was Toneata Morgan in 2018.

Three Miss Oregon USA titleholders have formerly held the Miss Oregon Teen USA title and competed at Miss Teen USA.

The current titleholder is Shayla Montgomery of Happy Valley and was crowned on May 4, 2024, at Sherwood Center for the Fine Arts in Sherwood, Oregon. She will represent Oregon at Miss USA 2024.
