The Miss Wisconsin Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Wisconsin in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Wisconsin has placed at Miss Teen USA, on five occasions. They first placed in 1984, when Adrianne Hazelwood made the semi-finals, and then endured an eighteen-year dry spell until Vanessa Semrow won the Miss Teen USA crown in 2002. The dry spell was broken at Miss Teen USA 2013, when Kate Redeker made the top 16.
Five Wisconsin teens have competed at Miss USA (four as Miss Wisconsin-USA in 1995, 2014, 2010, and 2016; and one as Miss Connecticut USA in 1985). One teen has also competed at Miss America in 1987. In 2007, Bishara Abridasheed Dorre, Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2006, became the first former Miss Teen-USA state titleholder to win a Miss America's Outstanding Teen state title, when she was crowned Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2007.
Shreya Gundelly of Mequon was crowned Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2021 on May 23, 2021, in Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. She represented Wisconsin for the title of Miss Teen USA 2021 on November 27, 2021, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, finished at the top 16. It was the first time in state pageant history that both Adams County and Wisconsin Dells hosted the annual state teen pageant.
