The 2018 Barrie municipal election was held on October 22, 2018, to elect a Mayor and 10 city councillors of the city of Barrie, Ontario, Canada. School trustees of the English-language Simcoe County District and Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Boards and the French-language Conseil scolaire Viamonde and Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir were also elected to represent the 10 wards of Barrie.

The election was held in conjunction with those held other municipalities of Ontario. In the mayoral race, incumbent mayor Jeff Lehman was re-elected with 90.97% of the popular vote. There were 38 candidates running for 10 city councillor positions – three councillors were re-elected, one was acclaimed, and six wards saw new councillors.
