Miss Alabama Teen USA is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Alabama in the Miss Teen USA pageant and the name of the title held by that winner. It is the sister pageant to the Miss Alabama USA title.
During the pageant, contestants compete in three areas: interview, activewear, and evening gown. Until the 2018 pageant a swimsuit competition was held in place of activewear.
Until 2010 Alabama was directed by the Premier Pageants group, and was the first state to be taken under this directorate. Dohn Dye, operating as "To Dye For" was the Director for the 2010 and 2011 pageants, but were replaced by Paula Miles and RPM Productions in August 2011. This company resigned in 2024 and it is unknown who will produce the pageants in the future.
The current titleholder is Raiah Jolynn Dona of Montgomery, who was crowned on July 11, 2026 at Mississippi State University in Starkville. Dona will represent Alabama at Miss Teen USA 2026.
