The National Beauty Contest Señorita República Dominicana (Miss República Dominicana 1956) was held on January 29, 1956 at the Federal Palace in Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, with 24 delegates competing. The winner, Olga Fiallo of Distrito Santo Domingo, earned the right to represent the country in its debut at Miss Universe 1956. The contest traces its origins to 1928, when provincial delegates were crowned, but it was canceled in 1930 after Trujillo came to power.
