Miss Grand Botswana is a Batswana female national beauty pageant founded in 2014 by a Gaborone-based businessperson, Dineo Matlapeng. The contest's winner represents the country at its international parent stage, Miss Grand International, where Botswana only participated once in 2014 but received a non-placement.

Since its last competition in 2014, no Batswana representatives have additionally participated in the Miss Grand International contest; the license has not been obtained by any other pageant-related agencies.
