Jennifer Hosten (born 31 October 1947) is a Grenadian radio announcer, development worker, diplomat, author, model and beauty queen who won the Miss World 1970 contest, representing Grenada. She became the first black woman and the first woman from her country to win the title. The whole contest had been controversial even before the result had been announced. Afterwards allegations were made about the influence of the Prime Minister of Grenada, who was on the judging panel.
She was born in St. George's, Grenada. She was 23 when she won the Miss World contest in November 1970, and so the more likely of the two dates of birth that are reported is 31 October 1947. She studied in London and then worked for the BBC's Caribbean radio service before becoming a flight attendant.
