Miss USA 1963 was the 12th Miss USA pageant, held at the Miami Beach Auditorium, Miami Beach, Florida on July 17, 1963. This was the first Miss USA to be broadcast on television, first aired on CBS.

At the end of the event, Macel Wilson of Hawaii crowned Marite Ozers of Illinois as Miss USA 1963.[1] Latvian-born Ozers was the first woman born outside the United States to win the title, and the second delegate from Illinois to do so. Ozers later competed at Miss Universe and was named one of the fifteen semi-finalists.[2]

Contestants from forty-two states and the District of Columbia competed in the pageant.
