Junior Miss is a collection of short stories by Sally Benson which first appeared in The New Yorker magazine. Between 1939 and the end of 1941, the prolific Benson published 99 stories in The New Yorker, some under her pseudonym of Esther Evarts. She had a bestseller when Random House published the Junior Miss collection on April 23, 1941.

The stories focus on a young teenager named Judy Graves. Her adventures were drawn from Benson's own adolescent experiences, as well as from Benson's observations of her teenaged daughter Barbara and Barbara's friends.
