Miss Universe Barbados is the national beauty pageant responsible for selecting a delegate to represent Barbados at the Miss Universe pageant. This pageant is unrelated to Miss Barbados World and Miss Barbados International contest.

History

Miss Barbados Universe sent its first contestant to Miss Universe in 1976 and has sent 11 delegates between 1976 and 2005. They have never sent a delegate for more than 5 years in a row.

After the death of the National Director Andy Niles in 2006, Candi Nicholls, a former member of Niles' team, took over the franchise. Niles had been national director from 2003 to 2005.

Between 2008 and 2015 Barbados was absent from the Miss Universe pageant.

As of 2016, Crown Events Inc. with National Director Brian Green are the new management of the franchise.
