Miss World USA 1968 was the 7th edition of the Miss World USA pageant and it was held in San Diego, California and was won by Johnine Leigh Avery of Washington. She was crowned by outgoing titleholder, Pamela Valari Pall of California. Avery went on to represent the United States at the Miss World 1968 Pageant in London later that year. She did not place at Miss World.[1] This edition was also the last edition where cities were represented. From 1969 onward, delegates representing cities have to compete in and win state pageants first before competing at Miss World USA.
