Miss Europe 1954 was the 17th edition of the Miss Europe pageant, held in Vichy, France on 20 June 1954.
At the end of the event, Christel Schaack of Germany was crowned as Miss Europe 1954 by Eloisa Cianni of Italy. However, it was later revealed that Schaack was a widow and thus was disqualified from Miss Europe and stripped of her crown. The crown then went to the 1st runner-up Danièle Génault of France, while Schaack was given the title "Honorary Miss Europe".
Contestants from thirteen countries competed in this year's pageant.
