The Miss Connecticut USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Connecticut in the Miss USA pageant.

The state pageant directors are:

• Crown Productions from 2003 to 2008

• Five Crown Pageant Productions based in Washington, D.C. from 2018 to 2019

Despite a number of semi-finals placements in the 1960s, Connecticut is overall one of the least successful states at Miss USA.From 1969 until 2002, not one Miss Connecticut USA had placed at the national competition.In 2002, this spell was broken by Alita Dawson, who placed 4th runner-up.Dawson was one of three former Miss Connecticut Teen USAs to win the Miss crown (although a former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA also won this competition). This was not until 2013 when Erin Brady became the first Miss USA ever from the state of Connecticut when she was crowned Miss USA 2013. The most recent placement was Tiffany Teixeira in 2016, placing Top 10.

Amanda Torchia of Middlebury was crowned Miss Connecticut USA 2021 on June 6, 2021 at Marriott Airport Hotel in Windsor. She will represent Connecticut for the title of Miss USA 2021 on November 2021.
