Miss Grand Botswana 2014 was the first edition of the Miss Grand Botswana pageant,[1] organized on 8 August 2014 at the Botswana National Youth Council (BNYC) in the capital Gaborone.[2] Thirteen contestants from different districts and cities of Botswana competed for the title.[1] Of whom, a 19-year-old geology student representing South-East, Lillian Molose, was named the winner.[3] Molose later represented the country in the Miss Grand International 2014 pageant held on 7 October 2014 in Thailand,[3] but was unplaced.[4]

The contest, which was initially scheduled for 26 July 2024 at the Cresta Lodge Hotel in Gaborone,[1] was organized by a South African businessman named Dineo Matlapeng.[1][5] However, it was subsequently rescheduled for 8 August for unknown reasons.[2]
