The 2018 Waterford Senior Football Championship is the 131st edition of the Waterford GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded clubs in County Waterford, Ireland. The tournament consists of 12 teams, with the winner going on to represent Waterford in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Stradbally were the defending champions after they defeated The Nire in the previous years final. However the defence of their title came undone at the quarter-final stage when losing to neighbours Kilrossanty.[1]

This was Dungarvan's return to the senior grade after claiming the 2017 Waterford I.F.C. title. This was their first year back in the top-flight of Waterford club football in 5 years since relegation at the end of the 2012 season.[2]

On 28 October 2018, The Nire claimed their 9th Waterford S.F.C. crown when defeating Kilrossanty by 0-9 to 0-7 in the final at Fraher Field.[3]

Dungarvan were relegated to the 2019 I.F.C. after losing their Relegation Final to Ardmore St. Declan's. This ended their one year stay in the senior ranks.[4]
