Miss Hungary is a national Beauty pageant in Hungary first held in 1929.

• 1929 - World War II The first pageant was held in 1929 and the winner of it won the Miss Europe title. In 1936 Zsa Zsa Gabor won the title, but she was underaged so she couldn't compete in Miss Europe. Later she became a Hollywood actress and celebrity and wife of Conrad Hilton.
• From World War II until 1985 the pageant was not held, for political reasons: Hungary was a communist country.
