This is a list of Indonesia's official representatives and their placements at the Big Four beauty pageants. The country has placed 29 times and won once:

• One — Miss International crown (2017)

Hundreds of beauty pageants are conducted yearly, but the Big Four are considered the most prestigious, widely covered and broadcast by media. The Wall Street Journal, BBC News, CNN, Xinhua News Agency, and global news agencies such as Reuters and Agence France-Presse collectively refer to the four major pageants as "Big Four" namely: Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, and Miss Earth.

The Indonesian franchise holders of the four major beauty pageants are the following:

• Teuku Jordan Zacky — Miss Universe Indonesia for Miss Universe.
• Liliana Tanaja Tanoesoedibjo — Miss Indonesia for Miss World.
• The Surakarta Sunanate, Mooryati Soedibyo, and Putri Kuswisnuwardhani — Puteri Indonesia for Miss International.
• Dr. Kishanty Hardaningtyas — Putri Nusantara for Miss Earth.

The criteria for the Big Four inclusion are based on specific standards such as the pageant's international prominence and prestige accepted by mainstream media; the quality and quantity of crowned delegates recognized by international franchisees; the winner's post pageant activities; the pageant's longevity, consistency, and history; the execution of the pageant's specific cause, platform, and advocacy; the overall pre-pageant activities, production quality and global telecast; the enormity of internet traffic; and the extent of popularity across the globe.

Indonesia's representatives to the Miss Universe pageant in 1974, 1975, 1976 1977, 1980, 1982, and 1983 were chosen by a local pageant organizer. The title was awarded through the Ratu Indonesia Organization. In 1995, Puteri Indonesia took over the license. In February 2023, Miss Universe Indonesia took over the license to select Indonesia's Miss Universe representative. On August 12, 2023, the Miss Universe Organization officially terminated their franchise contract with PT. Capella Swastika Karya and Capella after sexual abuse scandal which happened in Miss Universe Indonesia 2023.

Indonesia's representatives to the Miss International pageant in 1960, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977 were chosen by a local pageant organizer. The title was awarded through the Puteri Remaja Indonesia Organization. In 2007, Puteri Indonesia took over the license.

Indonesia's representatives to the Miss World pageant in 1982 and 1983 were also chosen by a local pageant organizer. The title was awarded through the Ratu Indonesia Organization. In 2005, Puteri Indonesia took over the license and in 2006, Miss Indonesia was esthablished and started to send its winner to the Miss World pageant. In 2007, Miss Earth Indonesia was established and the winner would represent the country at the Miss Earth pageant. In 2022, Putri Nusantara took over the license and select one of the winner to be Miss Earth Indonesia.

Indonesia had its first Big Four placement in 1977 with Indri Hapsari Soeharto, who advanced as one of the top 15 finalists of Miss International 1977. This was Indonesia's highest placement in any of the Big Four pageants until 2015, when Maria Harfanti also ended up as the 2nd runner-up at Miss World 2015. It was surpassed in 2017, when Kevin Lilliana won Miss International 2017, being Indonesia's highest placement and its only victory so far.

At Miss Universe, Indonesia placed as one of the semi-finalists from 2013 to 2020, except in 2017. Indonesia has consistently been placing at Miss World since 2011, the current longest ongoing placement streak by a country. It also won Beauty With A Purpose award consecutively from 2014 to 2017, a milestone that has never been achieved by other countries. In 2021, Indonesia finally got its first Miss Earth placement by Monica Fransisca Antoinette Khonado, after participating for 17 years.
