Miss Grand Botswana is a Batswana female national beauty pageant founded in 2014 by a Gaborone-based businessperson, Dineo Matlapeng.

No Batswana representatives have further participated in the Miss Grand International contest since its most recent competition in 2014. The license has not been acquired by any other pageant-related agencies.
Botswana joined the Miss Grand International only once in 2014, with the representation of a 19-year-old geology student from the Botswana International University of Science and Technology, Lillian Lillie Dlamini, [1] [5] who won the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand International Botswana pageant held by a Gaborone-based businessperson, Dineo Matlapeng. [1] [2] [3] The event, which consisted of 13 national candidates, was originally scheduled for July 26, at the Cresta Lodge Hotel in Gaborone, [2] but was postponed to August 8 and the venue was moved to the Botswana National Youth Council (BNYC). [6]
Since 2015, no Botswana representatives have competed in the Miss Grand International contest.
