The Miss Oklahoma USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Oklahoma in the Miss USA pageant.
Oklahoma had never won the Miss USA title until 2015, although the state came close in 1989 and 2010, when Jill Renee Scheffert and Morgan Woolard placed first runner-up to Gretchen Polhemus and Rima Fakih, respectively. They are in the top 20 states in terms of number of semi-finalists. Olivia Jordan was crowned Miss USA 2015 on July 12, 2015 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, becoming the first contestant from Oklahoma to win the national title.
Four Miss Oklahoma USA titleholders have previously competed at Miss Teen USA, three as Miss Oklahoma Teen USA and one as Miss Illinois Teen USA. Three have also competed at Miss America.
The current titleholder is Taylor Gorton of Glenpool, who was crowned on the evening of December 20th.
