Miss Universe 2020 was the 69th Miss Universe pageant, held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, United States, on 16 May 2021.

At the end of the event, Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa crowned Andrea Meza of Mexico as Miss Universe 2020. It was Mexico’s first victory in ten years and the third victory for the country in the pageant’s history.

Contestants from seventy-four countries and territories competed in this year's pageant, featuring the smallest number of candidates at the pageant since 2003. The competition was hosted by Mario Lopez and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo. Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega and Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Tebow served as expert analysts, while Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst served as a backstage correspondent. Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi performed in this year's pageant.

This edition, to date, is the only time the pageant has been broadcast on FYI after Fox, its regular broadcaster, backed out due to uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
