Miss Teen USA 1988, the 6th Miss Teen USA pageant, was televised live from San Bernardino, California on July 25, 1988. At the conclusion of the final competition, Mindy Duncan of Oregon was crowned by outgoing queen Kristi Addis of Mississippi.

This was the first of two years the pageant was held in San Bernardino. It was hosted by Dick Clark for the first time, with color commentary from Tracy Scoggins. The preliminary competition was hosted by KCBS-TV weatherman Maclovio Perez and beauty expert Beverly Sassoon.

This was also the last time the State Costume competition took place and would not return until thirty-three years later in 2021, under a different organization.
