Gloria Sophia Almonte (born 19 July, 1983) is a beauty queen from the Bronx, New York who has competed in the Miss Teen USA pageant and competed in the Miss USA pageant in 2007.

Almonte won the Miss New York Teen USA 2001 title in late 2000, after placing second runner-up in the same competition the year previously. She represented New York in the nationally televised Miss Teen USA pageant held in South Padre Island, Texas in August 2001, and placed first runner-up to Marissa Whitley of Missouri. [cite news|title=Baby Bronx Bombshell Exults in Pageant Glory|publisher=New York Post|date=2001-08-24|page=19|first=Mark|last=Stamey] This was New York's first placement since 1996 and their highest since 1988, when Jessica Collins also placed first runner-up in the pageant.

In late 2005, Almonte competed in the Miss New York USA pageant for the first time, and placed in the top fifteen. She won the 2007 title the following year, becoming the fifth former Miss Teen USA delegate to win the pageant. Almonte succeeds Adriana Diaz, also of the Bronx, who held the Miss New York Teen USA title in 2003.

Almonte competed in the Miss USA 2007 pageant and was broadcast live from the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, California on March 23, 2007. Almonte was unplaced in the pageant, which was won by Miss Tennessee USA, Rachel Smith. Smith was also Miss Tennessee Teen USA 2002 and placed in the top 10 of the Miss Teen USA 2002 pageant. Almonte was similar to Miss Georgia Teen USA 1991, Meredith Young who placed 1st runner up at Miss Teen USA 1991 and later won the Miss Georgia USA 1999 crown but was unplaced at Miss USA 1999.

Almonte is now participating at Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009 Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009, to be held on October 22, 2008.
