The 2018 Connacht Senior Football Championship was the 119th installment of the annual Connacht Senior Football Championship organised by Connacht GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2018 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Unlike previous seasons, where the Connacht champions earned a place in the quarter-finals, this year's winners advanced to the new "All-Ireland Super 8s".[1]

The draw for the Connacht Championship was made on 19 October 2017.[2] Details on dates for the fixtures were announced on 31 October 2017.[3]

The winners receive the J. J. Nestor Cup, named after J. J. Nestor of Quinaltagh, County Galway.[4] Galway were the winners of the championship, defeating Roscommon in the final.
