Miss Grand Seychelles is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Seychelles representatives who were elected to compete at the Miss Grand International pageant. The title was first awarded in 2014 to a Sino-Seychellois model, Linda Cui, followed by a diploma student from Mahé, Shaniah Dick, in 2023.

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Seychelles only participated once in 2023, and the remaining representative withdrew. The first contest of Miss Grand Seychelles is scheduled to be held in 2024.

History

Initially, Seychelles was expected to make its debut in Miss Grand International in 2014 by the appointed representative, Linda Nan Cui, but Linda did not enter the international contest in Thailand for undisclosed reasons.

Later in 2023, the license of Miss Grand Seychelles was taken by a newly established pageant organizer, the Seychelles Pageantry Association, with Gabriella Gonthier as the director and Jouel Boutique as the sponsor. The audition to select the country representative for Miss Grand International 2023 was then arranged on August 5. Four candidates qualified for the final round, and Shaniah Dick, a diploma student in social work from the National Institute of Health and Social Studies (NIHSS), was named the winner; however, Shaniah received a non-placement after partaking in the international pageant in Vietnam.

The Seychelles Pageantry Association also planned to organize a contest in 2024 to elect their representative for Miss Grand International 2024, to be held in Myanmar on October 25.
