Jussara Marques (* 1931 in Itumbiara ; † February 24, 2006 in Rio de Janeiro ) was elected Miss Brazil on June 2, 1949. She prevailed against twelve competitors in Petrópolis . She remained the Brazilian beauty queen for five years because the next appointment was not carried out until 1954 in a new competition with a changed electoral process.

In 1950, in her honor, the Goian community Água Limpa changed its name to Jussara .

In the second half of 1954 she married the banker Marcellin de Amorim. The marriage had four children.
