List of Miss Earth elemental titleholders

This is an overview of the top finalists of the Miss Earth competition.

Miss Earth elemental titleholders
Miss Earth uses specific titles and crowns for the runners-up, based upon the four elements of antiquity, calling the 1st runner-up Miss Air, the 2nd runner-up Miss Water, and the 3rd runner-up Miss Fire. To distinguish the runners-up at the international competition from those at the national level, the international edition includes the title "Miss Earth" before the names of each element; for example, "Miss Earth – Air".

This table shows the top-four finalists of each competition, from its inception in 2001.
