Miss Universe Kenya is a national pageant in Kenya that was first held in 2002 and an annual national contest to choose ambassador for the Miss Universe pageant. Miss Universe Kenya is not related to the previous Miss World Kenya or Miss Kenya contests.
The Miss Universe Kenya was held for the first time in 2002 by Beauties of Africa Inc. Since the corporation took over the license in Kenya from Miss Kenya organization, the organization did not set for longer until 2005. In 2014 the new owner bought the brand and joined Maria Sarungi Tsehai ownership. Beginning in 2024, Hon Ababu-Terrah Egh took over the license of Miss Universe Kenya and made it larger event in Kenya.
