The Miss Alaska USA competition, previously known as Miss Alaska Universe, is the pageant that selects the representative for the state Alaska in the Miss USA pageant and the name of the title held by its winner.

Alaska's highest placement was in 1964, with Patricia Marlin as the second runner up. Alaska's most recent placement was in 2017 when Alyssa London placed in the top 10. Alaska held the most wins in the pageant's history for "Best State Costume," until the category was discontinued in 1994. Two Miss Alaska USA titleholders were former Miss Alaska Teen USA titleholders and two were former Miss Alaska titleholders who competed at Miss America.

The pageant has been held in both Anchorage and Fairbanks, where it was held in conjunction with Winter Carnival.

The current Miss Alaska USA titleholder is Alyssa London, the first titleholder of Tlingit heritage.
