Miss Grand La Rioja is a Spanish provincial female beauty pageant founded by Yajaira Ysturis Martínez in 2022, aiming to select representatives from the province of La Rioja for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.
Since first participating in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, La Rioja's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest and only placement they obtained was the first runner-up, won by Alejandra León in 2023. History La Rioja debuted in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2022 after a model and event organizer Yajaira Ysturis Martínez obtained the license, and subsequently organized the first contest of Miss Grand La Rioja on 26 March 2022, at the Bodegas y Viñedos Heras Cordón, Fuenmayor, in which Elena Prado Marin was named the winner, outclassing the other nine finalists. However, Elena was unplaced in the national contest held on May 22 of that year in Las Palmas.
