The 2018 Asian Women's U17 Volleyball Championship, also referred to as the 2018 SMM Est Cola Asian Girls' U17 Volleyball Championship for sponsorship reasons, was the twelfth edition of the Asian Youth Women Volleyball Championship, a biennial international volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), that year with the Thailand Volleyball Association (TVA), for the under-17 women's national teams of Asia. The tournament was held in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, from 20 to 27 May 2018.[1]
A total of thirteen teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2001 eligible to participate.
Like the previous editions, the tournament acted as the AVC qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U18 World Championship. The top four teams qualified for the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U18 World Championship as the AVC representatives.
