Miss Universe 1993 was the 42nd Miss Universe pageant, held at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, Mexico, on 21 May 1993.
At the event's conclusion, Dayanara Torres of Puerto Rico was crowned Miss Universe 1993 by Michelle McLean of Namibia. Seventy-nine contestants competed in the pageant.
The pageant was hosted by Dick Clark for the fourth and final time, with commentary from Miss Universe 1987, Cecilia Bolocco and Miss Universe 1989, Angela Visser.
This was the third time the pageant was held in Mexico, two years after Lupita Jones won Mexico's first Miss Universe title in 1991.
