Brenda Kaye Brabham is a beauty queen from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who has competed in the Miss USA pageant.

Brabham won the Miss Pennsylvania USA 2005 title in a state pageant held in late 2004. It was her second attempt at the title, and she was crowned by outgoing titleholder Nicole Georghalli.

Brabham competing in the Miss USA 2005 preliminary evening gown competition, wearing an unusual and daring gold gown designed by Sheri Hill for Jovani. The sash was removed for the final competition, showing even more of Brabham's body.

Brabham represented Pennsylvania in the Miss USA 2005 pageant broadcast live from Baltimore, Maryland in April 2005. She placed in the top ten in the nationally televised pageant, which was won by Chelsea Cooley of North Carolina. This was the first placement for a delegate from Pennsylvania since 1993, when Kimmarie Johnson placed in the top six. For the evening gown competition, Brabham wore a daring design in gold, with a bra-style top and flowing bottom connected only by crossed gold strings. This Sherri Hill design for Jovani contrasted sharply with more traditional pageant designs featuring an enclosed bodice and skirt.

Brabham is a 1999 graduate of Dobbins High School.^[1] Member of FTC Publications in 2003.
