The 2018 elections for the Oregon Legislative Assembly determined the composition of both houses for the 80th Oregon Legislative Assembly. The Republican and Democratic parties held primary elections on May 15, 2018, with general elections on November 6, 2018.

As a result of the elections, the Democratic Party expanded its advantage in both houses of the state legislature. The party gained one seat in the Oregon State Senate and three seats in the Oregon House of Representatives, bringing its advantage over the Republican Party to 18–12 and 38–22, respectively. These gains gave the Democratic Party a 3/5 (or 60%) supermajority in both chambers for the 80th Oregon Legislative Assembly.[1]
