Miss Grand Dominican Republic (Spanish: Miss Grand República Dominicana) is a female national beauty pageant in the Dominican Republic, founded in 2016 by a Dominican American business person, Chantel Martinez, with the aim of selecting a country representative to participate in its parent pageant, Miss Grand International. After Chantel Martinez ended the partnership with the Miss Grand International in 2019, the competition franchise was taken over by different local organizers, such as the Iconic Model Search Inc. of Joe Amhed (2022) and Misses of Dominican Republic-related personels (2019–2021, 2023).

Since the first participation in 2013, the Dominican Republic won the Miss Grand International competition once in 2015, through a Rhode Island–based model, Anea Garcia, but was later replaced by the first runner-up from Australia, Claire Parker, due to being unable to fulfill the agreement with the international organizer.
