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