Tina Marie Machado, formerly Placourakis, (born 1960) is an Arizona businesswoman, and former model, actress, and Miss Hawaii USA.

Machado was born in Hawaii and was crowned Miss Hawaii USA in 1985.[1] She competed in the Miss USA 1985 pageant as Miss Hawaii USA and was a semi-finalist in the nationally televised pageant broadcast live from Lakeland, Florida in May 1985. That pageant was won by Laura Martinez Harring of Texas.[2] Tina Machado lost her Miss Hawaii USA crown after less than a week. Pageant officials said she was too old at 25 and won by mistake. Machado was told to step down in favor of Toni Leimomi Costa, 18, runner-up in the pageant. Pageant director Gay Zuercher said Miss Hawaii USA entrants must be under 25 and it was an error when Machado--who turned 25 that November--was allowed to enter. Zuercher called the mistake "a disappointing turn of events" but added, "Nobody's perfect."

In 2006 it was announced that Machado would appear as a cast member on the CBS show Tuesday Night Book Club. The show was pulled after two episodes due to poor ratings.[3]
