The 1973 Miss Black Teenage World Pageant was a beauty pageant held in Birmingham on August 8, 1973. It was the inaugural pageant in the national competition founded by Ronald Charity for girls ages 15 to 17.

Rosalette Petty, a 16-year-old from Kailua, Hawai'i, won the pageant, in part by demonstrating native dances. She was awarded a full four-year scholarship to Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. Runners-up included Pamela Bosley of St Louis, Missouri; Pamela Harvey of La Plata, Maryland; Marilyn Monroe of Hartford, Connecticut; Angela Bridges of Passaic, New Jersey; and Marcia Jackson of Orlando, Florida, who won the "Miss Together" award. The only finalist from Alabama was Paulette Payne of Gadsden. All fifteen finalists won scholarship money, as well as Kodak pocket Instamatic 10 camera outfits presented by the Eastman Kodak Co.

The second annual pageant was held in Danville, Virginia.
