Miss USA 1968 was the 17th Miss USA pageant, televised live by CBS from Miami Beach, Florida on May 18, 1968 and hosted by Bob Barker. The title was won by Dorothy "Didi" Anstett of Washington, who was crowned by outgoing titleholder Cheryl Patton of Florida. Anstett became the first—and to date only—woman from Washington to win Miss USA, and later placed as 4th runner-up at Miss Universe 1968.
