The Sanremo Music Festival 2018 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2018), officially the 68th Italian Song Festival (68º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 68th annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held in the Teatro Ariston of Sanremo and organised and broadcast by RAI. It was presented by Claudio Baglioni, who also served as the artistic director, with Michelle Hunziker and Pierfrancesco Favino.

The competition was divided in two sections. The winners of the Big Artists section were Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro with "Non mi avete fatto niente", who thus earned the right to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The Newcomers' sections was won by Ultimo with the song "Il ballo delle incertezze".
