In this study, the effect of selenium supplementation on the incidence and severity of preeclampsia in pregnant women was evaluated. <b>Methods: </b>The present double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study was registered at Fatemieh Hospital of Hamadan, Iran. One hundred eighty women in the first trimesters of pregnancy were assigned to either selenium (SG, n = 90) or placebo (PG, n = 90) groups. SG and PG received 100 μg of selenium supplement or placebo per day, respectively. <b>Results: </b>In this study, no significant difference was observed between two groups in terms of age, body mass index, and serum selenium before the intervention (<i>P</i> > 0.05). The incidence of preeclampsia in the SG and PG was 9 and 5, respectively (<i>P</i> = 0.28). There was no statistically significant difference between sex and Apgar score of neonates in the two groups (<i>P</i> = 0.73). The mean birth weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the SG was significantly higher than PG (<i>P</i> = 0.003, 0.01, and 0.007, respectively). The mean gestational age in the SG was insignificantly lower than the PG (<i>P</i> = 0.41). After the study, preeclampsia incidence was not significant between the groups (<i>P</i> = 0.28). <b>Conclusion: </b>The administration of 100 μg of selenium supplementation in pregnant women, had no effect on decrea<a name="_Hlk21533922">sing preeclampsia, but it may reduce the severity of preeclampsia.</a></span></span></span></span></span><br>
